Description

The actions of DANTE EDIH will be centered on Technologies for Living Environments (Smart Living) and on Technologies for Active & Healthy Aging and for Home Care, with Technological Trajectories transversal to the sectors of intervention: Wellness and Comfort, Inclusion, Assistance, Safety, Health. The convergence between Digital Technologies and Enabling Technologies constitutes the base for the development of systems and services that include sensors (Sensing), components that process data and information (Reasoning), man-machine interfaces (Interacting) and actuators (Acting) , components that must communicate with each other (Communicating) to provide the assistance service. The combination of these disciplines opens up new opportunities for the development of autonomous, adaptive and collaborative systems that combine and integrate Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and IoT in an inseparable way. The identified catchment area will be at national territory, covering different regions, in a networked structure that has the objective to interact with many stakeholders, starting from the more than 400 existing members in the National Technological Cluster SMILE and extending it to other public and private entities. The proposal focuses on the application of Artificial Intelligence, Cyber ​​Security and High Performance Computing to the Smart Living and Health and Active Life sectors. The target will consist of stakeholders operating in the different market segments, like: Smart Home, Smart Living Environments, Social Housing, Telemedicine, Remote Monitoring & Assistance, Tele-Care, Mobile Health, Internet of Things, Service-Assistive and Rehabilitation Robots, Big Data for Health, Sensors and Integrated Systems, Wearable Devices. Particularly relevant for DANTE is the theme of the "Silver Economy", understood as the production and dissemination of goods and services for the aging population.

Each of the badges reflects the hub’s reported activity and services already provided to SMEs, mid-caps and public sector organisations, while also showing the hub’s contribution to the network of European Digital Innovation Hubs.
