Stakes


  • CEA-Leti-IRT Nanoelec composes the ACTIVAGE French Deployment Site (DS) based in France’s Isère Department. DS Isère aims to create and evaluate a care continuum that
    combines human and technical assistance across different times in an elderly person’s life to limit loss of autonomy and avoid unnecessary re-hospitalization.

  • During the first year, CEA-Leti co-designed with all the project stakeholders IoT-based services to fulfil the requirements identified in different situations of the target elderly population. These designed solutions aim to enhance safety, comfort and social link to allow the elderly to remain independent at home for as long as they wish, to follow their evolving needs throughout ageing and to support caregiver intervention in detecting early signs of fragility.

  • During the second year, CEA-Leti developed a modular and adaptable IoT solution based on a Sensinact open IoT platform, wireless sensors and actuators. A secured gateway based on a STM secure element was prototyped. The modular solution was tested and refined on the IRT
    Nanoelec Testbed, which was adapted for ACTIVAGE. Three services were developed and will be assessed with three population panels, specifically Panel 1: Active Seniors (50 persons) and Panel 2: Fragile Elderly living at home supported by caregivers (20 persons) and Panel 3: Elderly Patient hospitalized in Korian Les Granges (10 rooms – 50 patients).

  • Regarding deployment, CEA-Leti is working with electrical tradesmen from third party Federation Française de Domotique (FFD). The Institute has trained five FFD electricians in preparing and installing the IoT solution.

  • Experimentation started early 2019 and is currently in ramp-up phase. A comprehensive process has been established in relation to inclusion, installation, support, maintenance and usage assessment. This process complies with GDPR regulations and the PIA (Privacy Impact Assessment) was prepared by CEA-Leti and the Isère Department.

  • Fifty homes for the elderly and three hospital rooms have been equipped since the end of June 2019 and more than 1000 IoT devices have been installed.


OBJECTIVES

  • ACTIVAGE is a European Multi Centric Large Scale Pilot project on Smart Living Environments. The main objective is to build the first European IoT ecosystem across nine Deployment Sites (DS) in seven European countries. This will reuse and scale up underlying open and proprietary IoT platforms, technologies and standards, and will integrate new interfaces for ensuring
    interoperability across these heterogeneous platforms. This will enable large scale deployment and operation of Active & Healthy Ageing IoT-based solutions and services, supporting and extending the independence of the elderly in their living environments, and responding to the real needs of caregivers, service providers and public authorities. The project will deliver the ACTIVAGE IoT Ecosystem Suite (AIOTES), a set of Techniques, Tools and Methodologies for interoperability at different layers between heterogeneous IoT Platforms and an open framework for providing semantic interoperability of IoT platforms for Active & Healthy Ageing (AHA), which addresses trustworthiness, privacy, data protection and security. User demand-driven, interoperable, IoT-enabled
    AHA solutions will be deployed in addition to the AIOTES at each DS to enhance and scale up existing services, promote independent living, mitigate frailty and preserve quality of life and autonomy. ACTIVAGE aims to assess the socio-economic impact, the benefits of IoT-based smart living environments in relation to quality of life and autonomy, and sustainability of the health and social care systems. It will demonstrate the seamless integration and interoperability capacity of the IoT ecosystem and will validate new business, financial and organizational models for care delivery, thereby ensuring post-project sustainability and disseminating its results worldwide. The project consortium includes industries, research centers, SMEs, service providers and public authorities encompassing the entire value chain at each deployment site.


IMPACT

  • Initial feedback reveals the complexity of safely and securely commissioning heterogeneous home automation solutions and platforms in compliance with GDPR regulations. A secure infrastructure for monitoring units
    is key to exploiting the information provided by the devices. Continuing the work of IsèreADOM, the ACTIVAGE Isère DS will impact public policy, global care organization and digital tools via a step-by-step demonstrator.
