Traditional models of care are facing new and unprecedented challenges as our older population grows. Our elders are living longer lives and accordingly coping with more long-term illnesses. Inevitably this places an increased and unsustainable burden on our health and social services. In addition, family members are often required to act as unprofessional carers, resulting in more stress and carer illness. Hybrid human-technology solutions can alleviate this problem, supporting independence, prevention, early intervention and management of personal health as well as participation in the community and the workforce. If we can improve individual engagement with technology and use this to access traditional services more efficiently, then we can improve the lifestyle of older adults and the management of long-term health conditions. For those suffering chronic health conditions, improved access to information and services can promote independence for patients and carers; allowing them to interact in an efficient and timely manner with health and care professionals when required.Our project aims to develop an intuitive independent living solution that harnesses existing technologies and is capable of working in the home, the community or in remote locations away from home. The solution must provide both information and advocacy and must support the safety of the user whilst protecting privacy and personal choice. Further, the solution must be modular to allow additional functionality such as safety monitoring, telecare and telehealth, social networking and transaction processing to be added.We believe our approach is truly innovative as we are looking to develop services and solutions that will be effective for the 'worried well' and 'unprofessional' carers as well as front-line agencies such as social services. We will seek solutions that are tailored to the needs and expertise of the customer and that are benefit versus technology lead. We will, therefore, work with Broadband Capital to use the ubiquitousness of the TV, but ensure that the solution(s) will also work across PCs and mobile devices, thus increasing consumer reach. To develop modular and scaleable, anytime, anyplace, anywhere solutions applicable for consumers and agencies, we have sought the commercial and technical expertise of leading technology organisations. Finally, ensuring we 'close the loop' we are utilising the expertise of partners such as Scottish Centre for Telehealth and Essentia to focus on what happens when an event trigger is activated and human intervention is required.

随着老年人口的增长，传统的护理模式正面临着前所未有的新挑战。我们的老年人寿命更长，因此应对更多的长期疾病。这不可避免地给我们的卫生和社会服务增加了不可持续的负担。此外，家庭成员往往被要求充当非专业的照顾者，导致更多的压力和照顾者疾病。人与技术的混合解决办法可以缓解这一问题，支持独立、预防、早期干预和个人健康管理以及参与社区和劳动力。如果我们能够提高个人对技术的参与，并利用它更有效地获得传统服务，那么我们就可以改善老年人的生活方式和长期健康状况的管理。对于那些患有慢性疾病的人，改善获得信息和服务的机会可以促进患者和护理人员的独立；允许他们在需要时与卫生保健专业人员进行有效和及时的互动。我们的项目旨在开发一种直观的独立生活解决方案，利用现有技术，能够在家中、社区或离家很远的偏远地区工作。解决方案必须提供信息和宣传，必须支持用户的安全，同时保护隐私和个人选择。此外，解决方案必须是模块化的，以便增加安全监测、远程医疗和远程保健、社交网络和交易处理等附加功能。我们相信我们的方法是真正的创新，因为我们正在寻求开发服务和解决方案，将有效地为“担心健康”和“不专业”的护理人员以及一线机构，如社会服务。我们将寻求适合客户需求和专业知识的解决方案，并将利益与技术领先相结合。因此，我们将与Broadband Capital合作，利用无处不在的电视，但要确保该解决方案也适用于pc和移动设备，从而扩大消费者的覆盖范围。为了开发适用于消费者和机构的模块化和可扩展的、随时随地的解决方案，我们寻求了领先技术组织的商业和技术专业知识。最后，为了确保我们“闭环”，我们正在利用苏格兰远程医疗中心和Essentia等合作伙伴的专业知识，重点关注当事件触发被激活并需要人工干预时发生的情况。
