Problem

The project primarily solves the problem of ongoing monitoring of the health of older people. Seniors are often lonely people, which in the case of a significant deterioration of health may come to a situation in which they will not be able to ask for help. Thanks to the smart band, this problem is minimized.

Aim

The goal is to support seniors through the ongoing monitoring of their vital functions. In the case of a potentially insecure situation, the smart band sends information to the care center from where help can be provided.

Spatial Level

Approach

The project will be implemented as part of the Regional Operational Program of the Lubelskie Voivodeship for the years 2014-2020 and from the budget of the City of Lublin. The entity responsible for its implementation is the Complex of Support Centers. All interested seniors will be able to apply to the pilot project. They will be selected based on the awarded score.  As part of the project, the Telecare Center will also be created, whose task will be to constantly monitor the technical condition of the bands and to call for assistance in the event of a life-threatening situation for the user of the band.
