About INCARE

Keeping seniors as they grow old anchored and involved in the society is beneficial on many levels. Seniors stay happy, fulfilled and independent while the society can continue to benefit from their knowledge and experience.

Motivated by the excellent outcome of the NITICS project, selected as one of the AAL success stories, we exploit its innovation and extend the platform with new technologies and services for both indoor and outdoor support. In addition, integration with RAPP will provide autonomous, intelligent and adaptable features along with support from robotic platforms.

The resulting INCARE platform will be modular, highly configurable and adaptable such as to be easily adopted and used by elderly with various backgrounds, cultures and age related impairments. In order to achieve this, we will involve INCARE end-users from 3 different countries in all design and development stages. Business aspects for the INCARE product will be addressed from both end-user perspective and market views of experts in relevant fields

INCARE is designed to support seniors to live independently and reduce or optimize the amount of care they require. The success of INCARE will be considered against qualitative and quantitative key performance indicators such as user satisfaction (no lower than 80%), acceptance rate 70-75%, reduced caregiver burden, etc. The INCARE solution is planned to reach the market in maximum 2 years after project completion. Our current business model deals with monthly service fees from the end-consumer for their in-use INCARE modules based on micropayment (e.g. 9.50 EUR per module, month and account).
