Healthcare in assisted living environments

The track examines the key challenges and opportunities arising from the development of robotics for assisted indipendent living.
In particular:

  • Telemedicine robots: how the multiple applications of sensors and robotic activities can increase the collaboration between home-care, nurses, doctors and patients, reducing hospitalization and providing faster diagnosis.
  • Care for the Elderly: companies and research groups are developing projects for this growing market segment, where the drivers are an aging population and the reduced resources for healthcare because of the economic stagnancy. State-of-the-art and perspectives in the development of prototype eldercare robots.
  • Exoskeletons – Wearable Robotics: the challenges and possibilities in one of the most exciting segment of the medical robotics market, a technology area that is attracting wide attention worldwide because of the strong potential to achieve new levels of rehabilitation and well-being among broad populations of patients.
  • Public Private partnerships: how public-private partnerships can combine forces to match the users’ needs with the technological developments.
