Satellite enhanced Multi-channel e-health Assistance for Remote Tele-rehabilitation and CAREgiving
The SmartCARE project realized a collaborative healthcare platform as a specialization of a more general and advanced wide workflow collaboration platform. It is a virtual space where caregiver professionals and patients are present to meet and manage daily activities, planned and unplanned, within a therapeutic process, in a collaborative way enabling the optimization of Home Care. SmartCARE enables to healthcare facilities, public and private, to provide the service of rehabilitation – Neuro motor/cognitive and Aphasia rehabilitation – at home, assuring a constant verification of the therapeutic process and without requiring the presence on-site of medical staff unless absolutely necessary. Access to SmartCARE is provided using satellite and terrestrial telecommunication networks by means of fixed or mobile devices. SmartCARE also represents a collaborative virtual workspace where patients, physicians, caregivers and other stakeholders leverage a community to foster the active participation of people in social initiatives.
