Spain – I-Beds
_____________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
This project exploits the use of Future Internet capabilities to enhance clinical services and extend these services seamlessly from the hospital to the home. Smart rooms in hospitals and homes support ubiquitous data collection, context and personal identification. Physiological and environmental data are collected, integrated and utilised to early detection of problems with the patient’s health, and continuation of treatment and clinical supervision at home, after a patient is discharged from Hospital. For that purpose, this project has developed a platform for the patient’s beds (MONERE), and a system for the clinical devices (MOVITAL) to provide a global connectivity and management capacity that links the patient to the Knowledge Based System, the Context Management Framework and the Identity Management Frameworks that will provide the functional capabilities of the whole infrastructure. The figure in Annex 1 illustrates the architecture.

KEY OUTPUTS/RESULTS
* Define a Future Internet architecture which supports interoperability of clinical data (CEN/ISO 13606) and personal health devices (IEEE 11073).
* Develop a hardware platform to connect wireless the clinical sensors and the hospital beds from the hospital and AAL through Future Network technologies such as 6LoWPAN.
* Offer security primitives and framework to ensure privacy of the patients and their information. And define a framework, which allows access to the clinical data respecting the patient’s anonymity, in order to carry out clinical evaluations with real patient’s data.
