Ubiquitous eHealth Solution for Fracture Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

欧洲人的寿命更长、更健康，这是一个伟大的成就。另一方面，人口老龄化带来了重大的财政和社会挑战。到2050年，欧洲四分之一（25%）的人口将达到65岁以上。欧洲人预期寿命的延长对医疗保健构成了严重挑战，即与之相关的各种疾病和健康状况的发病率增加，而老年人大多容易出现这些疾病和健康状况。后一种情况是骨折，这通常是骨质疏松症的结果。此外，骨折恢复过程中相关并发症的后果包括进一步的成本，不仅对患者，而且对整个欧洲社会都是如此。为了解决这些日益增长的问题，ROBUST的多学科联盟将此作为一个具有挑战性的用例，以展示智能移动电子医疗系统的相关性和熟练程度，作为解决老龄化社会中激增问题的创新解决方案。鲁棒的目标是开发一个新的概念和平台，用于远程监测患者的愈合过程，在电子健康领域。一个集成的移动电子健康系统将被设计出来，利用基于射频的传感技术的最新进展，该联盟正在研究这些技术。该系统将能够快速响应动态和复杂的情况，同时以可靠和节能的方式保持控制、安全和隐私。鲁棒系统将包括一个快速反馈回路，动态处理感知信息，从而相应地向患者发出指令，包括认知和学习能力。鲁布斯致力于创建一个特殊的网络，这是多学科和跨部门的性质，为人员交流在移动电子医疗领域，即结构培训和知识共享，以提高欧洲的创新能力在相关的电子医疗系统和应用

The population in Europe is living longer and healthier, and that is a great achievement. On the other hand, an ageing population raises major financial and social challenges. One in four (25%) persons living in Europe could be aged 65+ by 2050. The greater expectancy of life in Europe is posing serious challenges to healthcare, namely through the associated increasing incidence of various diseases, as well as health conditions, which the elderly are mostly prone. One of the latter conditions is bone fractures, which can typically occur as a consequence of osteoporosis. Furthermore, the consequences of associated complications in fracture recovering include further costs, not only for the patient but also for the European society in general. To address such growing issue, the multidisciplinary consortium of ROBUST takes this as a challenging use case for demonstrating the relevance and proficiency of smart mobile eHealth systems as innovative solutions to address surging issues in our ageing society.ROBUST targets developing a new concept and platform for remote monitoring of patients' healing process, in the eHealth domain. An integrated mobile eHealth system will be devised exploiting recent advances in RF-based sensing technologies, which are being investigated in this consortium. The system will be able to respond promptly to dynamic and complex situations, while preserving control, safety and privacy, in a reliable and energy efficiency manner. The ROBUST system will include a fast feedback loop that dynamically processes sensing information to generate, accordingly, instructions to the patient, encompassing cognitive and learning capabilities as well. ROBUST is committed to create an exceptional network, which is multidisciplinary and intersectoral in nature, for staff exchange in the mobile eHealth field, namely targeting structure training and knowledge sharing towards enhancing the European innovation capacity in relevant eHealth systems and applications
