The solution consists of sensors worn directly by patients and installed in their home environment, of a telemedicine services platform and of a Robot, “Pepper”, developed by SoftBank robotics, which acts as a mediator between the person and the virtual environment.
This infrastructure integrates clinical data and facial expression analyses, making it possible to analyse patients' psycho-physical conditions, monitor patients directly from their home, measuring their well-being and making them feel protected and safe throughout the course of the therapy.
The project is an innovation at national level and is aimed, in particular, at elderly patients suffering from cardiovascular disease, during the period following their hospital discharge.
The project is funded with PON Research and Innovation 2014-2020 and FSC funds ( www.ponricerca.gov.it)
