GENERAL THEME
Smart living (e.g., cities, home, vehicle) can be considered as an augmented environment capable of utilizing embedded computers, information appliances, micro/nano systems and multi-modal sensors, in which computational intelligence is ubiquitous to provide contextual, proactive and personalized services to people. Current advances in such enabling technologies make it possible to build real Smart living and hence provide the opportunity for novel applications and services to be delivered for improving the quality of life and health of people in their home and outside. In the near future, elderly and people with disabilities will avail of smart assistive technology to assist with carrying out daily living activities, to socialize, to enjoy entertainment and leisure activities all whilst maintaining good health and wellbeing. These Smart livings are complemented through the role of health telematics. Health telematics approaches utilize advanced networks and telecommunication technologies to provide healthcare remotely. Combined with IoT Ubiquitous technologies in Smart Environments, health telematics can radically transform the way health-related services (diagnosis, therapy and assistance) are conceived and delivered.
OBJECTIVES OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL
ICOST Summer School will provide participants with a unique, high-quality and intensive period of study. It is ideally suited for students currently pursuing, or intending to pursue, research in Smart Homes, Smart Urban Spaces, health telematics and other assistive technologies.
The focus of the ICOST 2017 summer school is as follows:
Provide a multidisciplinary experience in a multidisciplinary team environment integrating clinical, social, technological, ergonomic and market perspectives to solve a health-aging issue.
Integrate the multiple domains involved in the provision of assistive solutions with new technology.
Solve a health-aging issue through the use of assistive technology thanks to a multidisciplinary approach.
