TASKS:
- System Architecture
- Hardware Engineering
- Software Implementation
- System Integration
- System Optimization
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
A new product will be developed, and it needs a professional Design Project throughout the duration of the activities. An aesthetic design scheme is generated, followed by functional and technological design implementation. The objective is to lead from a design consulting support to a high-level prototype.
TASKS:
- Design Research
- Design Briefing
- Design Concept
- Design Sketch

Concept
HICS will lead the commercialization of the final product, coordinating the entire project. HICS is an Italian startup operating in the “Smart Living” sector with solutions that facilitate daily life. Among its main projects, the HICSPERIENCE products line is designed to simplify the interaction of Home and Building Automation systems and of Internet of Thing solutions.
KI-I (Competence Network Information Technology to Support the Integration of People with Disabilities) will work on the design of the accessible user interface, development of the web portal and smartphone apps. KI-I is an Austrian company that deals with the improvement of living conditions of people with disabilities and elderly people. The KI-I can be seen as a platform for information exchange in this area.
UCY, the Department of Computer Science of University of Cyprus is active in the areas of information and communication technology (ICT). Its research falls under the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems, Software Engineering, Internet and Mobile Technologies, e-Health and e-Learning. In this project UCY will provide its knowledge and experience on home server and on middleware platforms.
HARPO is a Polish research centre for assistive technology for people with various disabilities. It will lead the user involvement issues and will constantly monitor, discuss, evaluate and provide feedback based on the system development activities (executed in WP3: Implementation).
Assistenz24, is a non-profit organization and administers a comprehensive range of assistance services with a special focus on people with mental and physical disabilities. A24 will take over mainly User Involvement activities (WP2), exploiting their know how in the analysis of user needs and their large user base.
Werner Daxberger is an Austrian product designer with a long-term experience in the design of aesthetic products. In eSticky Werner Daxberger will design a successful and effective product. Since the product will be intended for an elderly target, it must be supported by an ergonomic design, suitable also for an inexperienced user.
Gerd Rosenauer is a product designer. Since 2000, as an independent entrepreneur he has looked after customers with a focus on technical implementation in the design process. With Werner Daxberger will take care of the Industrial design activities (WP 4), with a focus on functional and technological design implementation.
eSticky
Users
Mrs Smith is an 82 years-old woman with mild dementia, and she lives alone, far from her son. She often forgets to drink water.
Mrs Smith will get reminded to drink water. She reads the note on her eSticky display.
After drinking water, Mrs Smith confirms the OK-button and this information is automatically sent to the family member connected to the system.
Technology
User friendly
Our systems are designed for elderly people, so their structure and graphics will be as easy as possible, useful to our users
Remote control
Basic cloud services offered by the home server and managed by its middleware, will simplify the connection and remote management of home eSticky displays by the carer and family members
Battery life
Our displays will be based on Android OS and will be equipped with 3G, WI-FI and BLE (Bluetooth
Low Energy) standard radio communication protocols
