Objectives
The main objective of the K4CARE project is to improve the capabilities of the new EU society to manage and respond to the needs of the increasing number of senior population requiring a personalized HC assistance. The project will capture and integrate the information, skills, expertises, and experiences of specialised centres and professionals of several old and new EU countries, and will incorporate them in an intelligent web platform in order to provide e-services to health professionals, patients, and citizens in general.
To achieve this goal, the members of the project will provide the scientific and technical knowledge, develop the intelligent technologies to manage that knowledge, supply the ICT infrastructure for anticipating and hastening the medical assistance, implement a web-based platform to approach these technologies to healthcare professionals, patients, and citizens, and assess the platform services in a scenario of combined old and new EU healthcare institutions: HC services and related hospitals, rehabilitation centres, geriatric departments, and town councils.
The above main objective can be detailed in other more specific objectives. In the next lines general objectives, scientific objectives, and technological objectives are exposed separately. General objectives describe the aims of the project from a global perspective. Scientific and technological objectives concern the technical aspects of the project either from a CS, ICT, or medical perspective.
