SAPHE - Smart and Aware Pervasive Healthcare Environment • Funded by DTI Technology Programme (£3.36M with £1.68M from DTI, from 1st March, 2006) • Project Director: Professor Guang-Zhong Yang, Imperial College London with BT and Philips as the industry leaders • Project Partners: Imperial College London, BT, Philips, Cardionetics, University of Dundee, Docobo, and in collaboration with University of Liverpool and Liverpool Social Services and Primary Care Trust
Intelligent Wearable Ambient
By sensing under normal physiological conditions combined with intelligent trend analysis, SAPHE opens up new opportunities for the UK ICT and healthcare sectors in meeting the challenges of demographic changes associated with the aging population DTI Technology Programme Project Overview • To develop a novel architecture for unobtrusive pervasive sensing to link physiological/metabolic parameters and lifestyle patterns for improved well-being monitoring and early detection of changes in disease.
Technical Objectives • Miniaturised sensing with self-management and configuration • Local data abstraction and sensor fusion/inferencing with low power sensor and wireless data path • Processing-on-node technology for context aware sensing • Automated trust-based decision support and "affective computing" for improved human-computer interfacing • Intelligent trend analysis and large scale data mining
