  1. A SUSTAINABLE INFORMATION SYSTEM (IMIS) FOR E-HOME SERVICES Guohua Bai (Ph.D, Prof.) IMIS Project leaderBleking Institute of Technology372 25 Ronneby, Sweden gba@bth.se, +46 733 967108 The purpose of the IMIS project is to provide the E-home system designers with a sustainable information architecture for home services (healthcare and home care), especially for care of elder and patient at home. The project will produce a software platform (prototype) in the end of year 2006 in Sweden, and we are looking for partner in China in Software system design for homecare Services, in order to transform Swedish technology and management to China. You are welcome to contact the project leader (in English, Swedish, or Chinese language)

  2. Risksand Opportunities (1)– E-Home in China E-homecare (home services and home healthcare) in China is urgently needed, because (Risks indicators): • The population of aged people over 80 is increasing 5% every year in China, and to year 2050, one fourth of whole population or 0.4 billions people in China are aged staying at home. • The government cannot afford (or prepared) with a national elderly care system like most western countries as Sweden. Because China has stepped in aged society very quickly within only 20 years (for reason of one-child/one-family policy since 1970’s), while the same process took 40-80 years in western countries. • China is still poor and under developing when the nation becomes aged society with GDP per capita less than 1000$, comparing to western countries with 5000 – 10000 $ when they became aged society.

  3. Risks andOpportunities(2)– E-Home in China • Opportunities: E-home provides China with a unique, and maybe the most effective solution to the problems. By applying effective IT&C at home, elder people are facilitated to manage their own daily life. If needed, they can always call help from their collective service centre that is located in their resident area and the collective service centre can provide with both homecare (cleaning, shopping, reparation, baby care etc.) and home healthcare (legitimate medical care). Elder people can be also monitored (if wished by all partners) both at home and out door by bearing sensors that can send singles directly to related care providers (including their children and relatives if wished). E-home will greatly increase the security of elder people, release great worry from both their children and elder people themselves, and can be afford by most people.

  4. E-HomeA Social-Psychological and Systemic Project(Not Only a Technology) • E-home is more than just a technology, and it needs a systemic and social-psychological study how to design e-home system. E-home system must provide with needed services to residents. Therefore IMIS is a user centred design project. • The IMIS project ´Integrated Mobile Information System for Home Healthcare’ is financed by Swedish Agency for Innovative Systems (VINNOVA). IMIS will produce a sustainable software platform which is based on a systemic study of social psychological factors involved in the home healthcare. • The Swedish experiences and the so called ‘Scandinavia Approach’ are highly justified in conducting such complex system. The IMIS project should be very useful in China if some feasibility and desirability studies are conducted with some Chinese colleagues.

  7. Looking for Chinese Partners We are looking for Chinese partners in the following areas in order to transform IMIS to China: • Software companies developing Internet based applications (for developing Chinese version IMIS software) • Research institutes and universities, service (governmental) authorities for conducting research projects for e-healthcare, e-home, e-government (for applying fund from EU’s IT&C Asia program) • Home Services providers and housing brokage companies (as users and funding partners).
