  • Develop an innovative solution that helps diagnose/identify possible COVID-19 infected at an early stage through the monitoring of biological/ physical parameters and by conducting medical surveys that will allow an initial screening.
  • Processing of information collected by wearables through artificial intelligence algorithms in order to analyze the health status of each person.
  • Provision of data to the different stakeholders on a platform adjusted to each user’s profile.
  • Enable health professionals to closely and continuously monitor their patients and quickly identify possible epidemiological situations, but also allow wearables carriers to have a greater awareness of their health status.
  • Activity 1: Functional and technical requirements
  • Activity 2: Architecture design and implementation
  • Activity 3: Interfaces with monitoring devices and the user
  • Activity 4: Development of processing algorithms
  • Activity 5: Integration, system testing and validation of results
  • Activity 6: Dissemination and communication
  • Activity 7: Project management
  • A data analysis model capable of collecting, analyzing data in order to identify possible patterns and/or deviations from normal behavior, also having the ability to provide information to users in real time;
  • Ability to adapt the type of analysis depending on the user in order to adapt the information to the user;
  • Development of a product in the form of a health monitoring package.
  • Providing a service of continuous monitoring of the health status of users, particularly in homes and senior residences, allowing a personalized follow-up of the elderly, reporting relevant information to the doctor and providing family members with reports, more generic, of the evolution of health.
