Description of the deployment site

The Activage Finnish Deployment Site (DS) deploys pilots in Finland. The pilots are done regionally in Helsinki, Jyväskylä, Tampere and Turku. The installations are done both in urban and rural areas. Some of the main characteristics for elderly care in Finland are:

Long distances , thus for elderly loneliness is a big issue
Growing care expenses - integrated care needed
Active Assisted Living (AAL) implemented

Generally, the Finnish DS concentrates on developing these important areas during the ACTIVAGE project:

Enabling the elderly to live longer at home and have more security
- IoT based Monitoring of activity and health / life science parameters and Contact with formal and informal carers.
- Security trough location and event-based services such as fall-down prevention.
Need to increase seniors and potential fallers physical activity
- Digital, tailored physiotherapy services
- Gamified exercise programs, integrated with physiotherapy movements (=exergames)
- Effective rehabilitation and physiotherapy with one-to-many model and digitalization.
