Description
“Networked healthcare and wellbeing services for people at home and on the move” (NUADU) is a Europe-wide project with an ITEA label, co-financed by various national programmes. In the case of the Spanish members, the funding proceeds from the PROFIT programme.
NUADU’s objective is to tackle the technological challenges required to develop health-care and wellbeing services that offer (1) better quality of life for consumers and (2) more efficient and cost-effective solutions for service providers.
The consortium has members from five European countries and will initiate five pilot schemes with different objectives with the common purpose of sharing the best practices and exploiting the synergies between the members.
NUADU focuses on developing the applications chosen to improve health and wellbeing, following a design strategy based on users’ needs.
The selected applications are:
- Monitoring of the lifestyle of the elderly and disabled to facilitate their independence. This application will be evaluated by the French and Italian pilot projects.
- Weight control, monitoring physical activity and nutritional habits will be evaluated by the Spanish pilot project.
- Control of cardiac insufficiency and monitoring of cardiovascular parameters in chronic patients will also be evaluated by the Spanish project.
- Application of health in the workplace, consisting of management of stress and unhealthy work practices, will be evaluated by the Finnish pilot project.
The project consortium, led by Philips Holland, includes organisations from Belgium, Spain, Finland, France, Italy and Holland. The Spanish representative in the consortium is the Telvent Interactiva company from the Abengoa Group.
Also participating are companies such as Philips, Nokia, Alcatel, Atos and Origin Italia. A contribution is also made by the Spanish universities, ITACA (Polytechnic University of Valencia) and the Polytechnic University of Madrid, and by research institutes from other countries: CEA List (France), INT (France) and VTT (Finland).
