Overview
 |
The HUMAN Project aims at improving the quality and continuity of patient-prisoner
care by designing, developing and validating in two different European
sites an umbrella of health telemedicine and domotic services, tailored
on the inmates needs, as well as on the requirements of the health professionals
operating in the detention centres.
The design and implementation of a new generation of healthcare services
will be carried out in two different phases, namely the Feasibility Phase
(FP) and the Deployment Phase (DP).
During the very first 14 months of the FP lifetime a set of services will
be designed and implemented, including a Digital Inmate Diary (DID) for
accessing to and exchanging medical information and data among health
professionals, an ubiquitous access to the DID, using palm-size PC and
UMTS, wearable devices for biological signal acquisition and processing,
tele-consulting and distance learning for medical operators.
The DP, funded under the auspices of a second contract with the Commission,
will be focused on the validation of the implemented services, a well
as on the implementation of a second set of pilot applications, including
a decision support system, an incremental knowledge base of facts, elicited
by applying data mining algorithms, and a wearable, domotic enabled, system
for drug testing. |
