Session1: Participatory Urban Living for Sustainable Environments (PULSE project)

A paradigm shift toward a data-driven socio-economic model is occurring as a result of the increased volume, velocity and variety of data. Powerful tools have been developed to collect, store, analyse, process and visualize large amounts of data. Open data initiatives have been launched to provide broad access to data from the public sector, business and science. Successful adoption of Big Data requires changes in business orientation and strategy, and the functioning of public sector agencies. The PULSE project will accelerate the Big Data vision by designing a system to exploit Big Data Value (BDV) in the public health sector.

PULSE is currently engaging in a collaborative dialogue with a range of stakeholders across seven global cities to transform public health from a reactive to a predictive system focused on both risk and resilience. In terms of public health risk, it is focused on the link between air pollution and the respiratory disease of Asthma, and between physical inactivity and the metabolic disease of Type 2 Diabetes.

The goal this session is to share with the audience the models and technologies that are being developed within PULSE to predict, mitigate and manage public health problems, and how the project is promoting community health, in different cities.

Session2: Innovative Ecosystems and Large Scale Pilots for Age Friendly Cities (ACTVAGE project)

Throughout Europe and all around the world, mortality rates have fallen significantly over the past decades leading to considerable changes in the age distribution of societies: population ageing creates a common challenge for our countries as they must find ways to do more with less. Citizen empowerment and incitation to self-equip is one of the explored options. Legislation, technology, and reimbursement charges, enforce the health and social care systems to improve the way they are providing services to citizens.

The "Active & Healthy Ageing" (AHA) community is wide and heterogeneous in terms of needs, demands and living environments. AHA services based on Internet-of-Things are promising to be a strategic component to support the creation of ecosystem able to dynamically answer and prevent the challenges faced by the health and social care systems: the “always-connected” paradigm is becoming a way of life, and this could result in a positive transformation for health and social care systems who are looking for new ways to reorient the provision of care and keep older people active and independent for longer.

This special session will present the views, challenges, visions and perspectives of researchers, industrial innovators, policy makers and entrepreneurs that are currently involved in important initiatives aiming at making a positive and sustainable impact for the AHA community.
