Lombardy Region and ARIA S.p.A believe that novel technologies can have an important role for improving the Quality of Life and are actively involved in Bd4QoL, SMART-BEAR and Hocare2.0 innovation projects.

BD4QoL realizes Artificial Intelligence-assisted mobile applications aimed at improving the quality of life of Head and Neck Cancer patients through personalized monitoring, support, and care after treatment. BD4QoL will adapt and implement four evidence-based strategies, shown to be effective among Head and Neck Cancer survivors.

SMART-BEAR platform integrates heterogeneous sensors, assistive medical and mobile devices to enable the continuous data collection from the everyday life of the elderly, which will be analyzed to obtain the evidence needed to offer personalized interventions promoting their healthy and independent living. The platform will also be connected to hospital and other health care service systems to obtain data of the end users (e.g., medical history) that will need to be considered in making decisions for interventions.

HoCare2.0 project delivered and deployed highly innovative solutions for social and health home-care for the elderly through co-creation approaches, involving them in the product design process and ensuring that digital-based solutions were well accepted by the care recipients. SME and Policy Tools for the delivery of innovative Home Care solutions have been designed and developed. 13 SMEs and 7 Public service providers have tested the co-creation method in product and service development in pilot actions. Key facts of the 20 Pilots carried out by SMEs and Public service providers, are summarized here.
