[Geriatrics and e-technology in an institution]

Abstract

The objective of the GER-e-TEC™ project is to provide a personalised medical follow-up of residents in nursing homes with the aid of a telemedicine intelligent platform. It will assist the nursing staff by automatically processing information obtained from sensors and questionnaires in order to give an early warning about high-risk situations. This telemedicine tool will enable health professionals to optimise residents' care.
