I come back to you with another demo that we recorded in the Executive Briefing Centre in Brussels. In the era of aging population and in the context of the challenge that this is entailing for health care, the home care applications can offer a viable and sustainable alternative to hospitalization or institutional care. The demo you can see bellow illustrates a range of measurements that can be performed at home, in pharmacy or drugstore or in a health kiosk and transferred to the Personal Health Record Platform (HealthVault).

A wide range of medical devices can be connected to the hub allowing the transfer of data to the Personal Health Record account:

Moreover, the Smart Home applications can be enriched by home surveillance, catering, alarm and fire detection, remote control of doors, windows and climate control. We assist today at a range of projects all over Europe, supported by local and regional authorities and deemed to facilitate the care for elderly or/end disabled people. In this context, telemedicine applications can offer a good alternative or a complement to increase the quality of service for the traditional care.
