Demographic and epidemiologic transitions have brought a new health care paradigm with the presence of both a, growing elderly population and more people suffering from chronic diseases. Life expectancy is increasing as well as the need for long-term care. Institutional care for the aged population faces economical struggles with consequent quality problems. To facilitate solutions for prolonging independent living, the European Union has awarded funding tofunds an interdisciplinary research and innovation project called “RADIO”. A European consortium, led by the National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos” (GR), Institute of Informatics and Telecommunication, will develop over the next three years a robotic smart home for unobtrusive, efficient and modular solutions for independent ageing.
