1. Welcome to SARC!

2. Value Ageing Seminar 1Ageing with equality and dignity the contribution of ICTWednesday 25th MayVenue Multi Media Room – SARC – Queen’s University Belfast

3. Value Ageing: incorporating EU fundamental values into ICT for ageing The European Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities. Article 2 of the TEU (values of the Union)

4. Motivation • We need to understand both: • the way in which existing values are driving technology innovation, • how technology in its turn is changing people’s standards. • Social scientists and ethicists should learn from technologists, and in their turn technologists should learn from scholars working on human values. • Value issues must be addressed at the design stages because it is then, when instruments are “thought up”, that meanings and values are embedded in technology.

5. Partners • Centre for Science, Society & Citizenship • Austrian Academy of Sciences • Fatronik • INNOVA • Vrije University, Brussels • FrontidaZois Ltd • NETWELL Centre, Dundalk • Queen’s University Belfast • Vegan Solutions SRL

6. “Work Packages” • Dignity & non discrimination • Freedom & autonomy • Living conditions & environment • CSR & ethical codes in ICT for ageing • Scenario exercise • Best practices • Governance issues & policy options http://www.valueageing.eu/

7. How Can Value Ageing Have Impact? • Talk with stakeholders • Discuss policy options • Influence EU roadmapping projects such as BRAID

9. Bridging Research in Ageing and ICT Development

10. Specific BRAID Objectives • Create a dynamic ICT and Ageing roadmap that addresses older people's needs not otherwise well met, that identifies and benefits from best practices in the EU and elsewhere and that analyses current and potential gaps in knowledge and execution; • Instantiate a strategic research agenda that tracks and builds upon existing, emerging and disruptive technologies and that responds to the changing socio-economic conditions of stakeholders; • Expand the BRAID networks of contacts to build a self-sustaining co-ordination mechanism which is viral and ubiquitous and reaches out across the heterogeneity of stakeholders.

12. Stakeholder Definitions

13. Taxonomy • Goal: To establish a common language across the area of ICT for Ageing; Identify Trends impacting ICT and Ageing to drive towards roadmap • Development of a Taxonomy that examines thematic settings, needs of the elderly, and the technologies that address them • Includes a Glossary withdefinitions of key termsin the ICT/Ageing space,based upon broad range of European research • Includes an extensive Bibliography as a resource

14. Scenarios

16. Independent Living Actions Monitoring Well-Being. Design, develop and integrate open and scalable sensor network environments both home-centered and human-centered, with intelligent monitoring, including new levels of security, safety, and privacy. Vision facets AI1 VI1: Established infrastructure and networks as the base for the support of independent living by technology Extending capabilities. Investigate, develop and integrate intelligent functionalities to compensate diminishing cognitive and physical capabilities and to design and develop intelligent, context-aware and self-adapting tools for personal assistance in planning and performing daily activities and facilitating societal participation. VI2: Assistive technology and support services that facilitate independent living AI2 VI3: Monitoring devices and technologies supporting ambient intelligence solutions Supportive Environments. Design, develop, and validate preventative and responsive interventions based on situational awareness. AI3 VI4: Supporting tools and environment that foster the development of technologies for independent living Establishing collaborative environments. Design and develop novel collaborative environments,combining social networking and collaborative networks of care provision stakeholders to facilitate support, companionship, and community participation. AI4 VI5: Advanced set of organised and commercial services aiming to enhance diminishing abilities of seniors and caring for seniors so that they can live independently Assisting mobility. Integrate and customize methods and tools to assist mobility, including services for localization, trip planning, navigation, orientation in complex environments, driving assistance, and inter-modal transportation, focusing elderly needs. AI5 Converging Independent and Sustainable Living. Explore the alignment of ICT for Independent Living with smart grid and sustainable development technologies. VI6: Tools to ensure security, ethics, rights, and privacy on data and used services AI6 Assess impacts. Promote integrative studies on the sociological, economic, ethical, and quality of life impacts of introducing services and technologies for independent living. VI7: Mechanisms to increase knowledge dissemination, training and learning through sharing both for seniors and all other stakeholders RI1 Training for new environments. Define new community-based training programs leveraging the potential of new technology-based assistive environments. RI2

17. Next Steps for You and BRAID • Four Workshops with Advisory Board and Local Stakeholders • Denmark (June) • Ireland (September - Jointly with WHO meeting) • Eastern Europe (November) • Final Presentations in Brussels and Australia • Check out our website and WiKi at http://www.braidproject.eu

19. The Netwell Centre and CASALA are working together in collaboration with industry, governmental bodies and other academic institutes in developing new ideas that enhance the quality of life and well-being of older people and those who care for them, through more integrated community-oriented services, more sustainable home and neighbourhood design, and more age-friendly technologies.

20. Netwell / CASALA • 22+ Team members; A multidisciplinary team involving an array of disciplines including the social and behavioural sciences, health and medical sciences, computer science, engineering, design, marketing and business administration. • Our expertise bring together psychologists, social policy researchers, environmental planners and designers, ICT engineers and human factors specialists, and our interests lie across the complete AAL value chain from technology platforms and software services,  to business models, processes and workflows and training/service transformation. • Funded projects to date: €22m, including seed funding from Enterprise Ireland of €2m for CASALA.

21. A platform for innovation CASALA Est. 2009 under the Applied Research Enhancement (ARE) programme Provide framework technologies for Irish industry Provide a testing continuum from concept to commerce Building a leadership position for Irish enterprise Mapping sensors to services that are attractive to use Bridging ICT & ageing research to industry opportunities CASALA: linking the Netwell Centre research to industry Working with Irish industry in applied research, innovation through to commercialisation. www.CASALA.ie

22. Motivation • There is an urgent need to bring quality of life and health to increased years. • Technology has the potential to • inform about physical health and wellness • connect people to others and so maintain relationships and friendships • add quality of life and enjoyment to later year

23. Smarter Living for an Ageing Population Working in collaboration with industry partners and other researchcentres, utilising existing sensors, trailing new sensors… Working in collaboration with industry partners, utilising Internet TVs,touchscreen tablets, mobile devices, Apps for smart living… World Class Research • Unique visualisation and pattern recognition, inference and reasoning to identify and analyse contextual and emotional state Working with open frameworks,providing access to unique data for industry partners… Working with care givers and service providers to deliver timely interventions… Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-GNzqTJHkI
