Satellite enhanced Multi-channel E-health Assistance for Remote Tele-rehabilitation and Caregiving

SmartCARE realises a collaborative health care platform as a specialisation of a more general and advanced wide workflow collaboration platform. It is a virtual space where caregiver professionals and patients can meet and manage daily activities, planned and unplanned, within a therapeutic process, in a collaborative way enabling an optimisation of home care. SmartCARE enables the provision of rehabilitation at home whilst assuring a constant verification of the therapeutic process and without requiring the presence of medical staff on site, unless absolutely necessary. The access to SmartCARE is provided using satellite and terrestrial telecommunication networks by means of fixed or mobile devices. The SmartCARE services establish a point of contact with reference healthcare professionals to manage multiple patients; schedule the therapy in each detail; provide updated information on the rehabilitation progress by means of remote live-check; and monitor the activities envisaged by the therapy. They can alert the patient, healthcare facility or caregiver when the improvement results are not achieved, measure vital signs using wireless and wearable sensors; as well as update clinical records.

Update: the project has undergone a Contract Change Notice.
