The main objective of the Confidence project was the development and integration of different ICT technologies for the detection of abnormal events, such as falls, losses of consciousness or unexpected behaviours in older people. The main exploitable product of the project is a system that processes location and acceleration data generated by an arbitrary accurate sensor system. If a problem is detected, the system raises an alarm and calls to the telephone numbers that the user has identified as alarm receivers. This system can be further enhanced so that it can also be used for prevention of possible illnesses.
The project was completed July 2011
