The tablet industry is developing at a high speed and the current tablet platforms are used by wide user profiles. Elder population dynamics and needs have been recognized by the EU actions and policies, but applications have not yet been incorporated to the tablet industry. Elder Tablet, developed as an R&D project, introduces digital skills and addressing the market need in this area.
The ELTAB system has two modules:
The first module is the health-care module; this module collects daily information from health measurement instruments (measuring parameters, such as heart pulse, body temperature, blood pressure, etc.), everyday devices (e.g., a weight scale) and home environment sensors (e.g., temperature, humidity, motion sensor, etc.) via a gateway. The gateway interacts with a decision-making layer that continuously assesses the health status of the senior and intervenes when necessary to prevent deterioration of the health status, instructing actions such as to inform the senior or to send information to relatives or medical staff, if necessary.
The second module is the social inclusion module; in which the tablet informs elderly or offers links to available social sources and services. For Turkey, these could be summarized as the services of General Directorate of Disabled and Elder Affairs formed within the Ministry of Family and Social Policies, Home Care Services of Ministry of Health and free house cleaning schedules, variety of courses that are offered by the municipalities, etc. This may be customized for different countries in regards to the available elderly services. |
