Strategic Development

Integrated Technology and Services
for Autonomy and Health

Adebag’s goal is to speed up the development of solutions which combine social and technological innovations adapted for the loss of autonomy in people whose environment, living conditions, mobility etc. is deteriorated.
To that end, Adebag strives to:

• Coordinate the players of the Technology and Services for the Autonomy and Health sector,
• Encourage convergence – which it considers essential – between new information technologies, medical technologies and services.

CONSIDERABLE ASSETS: A combination of skills is essential for the creation of the value chain in this sector

- Scientific and technological assets: Grenoble has an internationally renowned scientific and technological expertise in the fields of treating disability, ageing and dependence, thanks to, in particular:

• its strength in the domains of:
• Life Sciences and Health
• Micro nanotechnologies and NICT
• the presence of leading-edge industrial players and a thriving group of young and innovative enterprises

- Accessibility and social integration: a reality

• An entirely accessible public transport network
• Experimentation in the domain of intelligent home accessories for health.
• A broadband fibre optic network (Metronet) allowing the development of personalised and safe services.

- A particularly active social and solidarity-based economy

• A strong network of social and interdependent structures supported by local authorities.

DEFINING PROJECTS: Mobility and Interactivity

Technologies for people

• Monitoring of oxymetry, glycemia (Gluconet, FT / CHUG), thermophysiology (Project CLIM, LETI / CRSSA), respiratory difficulties (Sleepinnov, Visuresp-RBI)
• Tools for the Analysis of the evolution of dependance for frail elderly people: 3D motion-capture and fall sensors (Cea-Leti), motion –related measurement systems (Movea), embedded sensors (Minalogic - Care@Home)
• Intelligent clothing equipped with biochemical sensors for the prevention of cardiac accidents and for monitoring people with frail health (Proetex / Biotex / MyHeart / VTAMN)
• Description and characterisation of epileptic seizures (Capametrim)
• Geolocation (Géomobile)
• Interactive Health Assistant (Handicap, Ageing and Neurosciences Cluster): gathering of data for person monitoring and integration onto a light and mobile tool. Intergrated data-processing and decision support software providing priority-rated and adapted alerts
• Deep multi-electrode brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease (SIV Project) and multi-electrode cardiac stimulation (Multicarde Project)
• Unique patient file which can be used by all health professionals with external access (Calystene), home monitoring file (Physiodom / Sirlan)

Technologies for the home

• Intelligent Homes for Health (Timc-Imag):
• multi-agent distributed system, via Internet
• data acquisition: sensors (physical, microelectronic, microsystems, microtechnologies), conditioning (electronic), power supply (electrochemistry), signal processing (filtering, data merge)
• technical aids: actuators, home automation, robotic aids, autonomous robotics, cybernetics
• data communication: local networks, wired and wireless communication, security (cryptography)
• information systems: databases, human-machine interfaces, security
• authentication systems: biometric signatures
• decision support: automatic data analysis, artificial intelligence
• Telemonitoring of Alzheimer’s patients in intelligent rooms (Guardian system)
• Actimetric mattress, assessing and manageing bedsores (ACTIMAT)
• Videotelephony: videotelephonic communication spaces (EcoVip), videotelephony between home and carer (Visadom), interactive video assistance for the visually impaired (Ives)
• Software for the detection and interpretation of human activity (INRIA/FT - CASPER)
