“Medical Assistance in Contextual Awareness” (AMICO): A Project for a Better Quality of Care for Patients in Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit

The “Medical Assistance in Contextual Awareness” (AMICO) project proposes an infrastructure, called an “instrumented environment”, consisting of the home environment and the person, both of which are suitably equipped with sensors, a telemedicine service platform (in the Internet of Things) and a Robot who acts as a mediator/master between the person, the surrounding environment and the external environment. This infrastructure, oriented to the citizen's well-being, can offer both services oriented to the person in his home environment, monitoring their behavior and psycho-physical state, and telemedicine services to support the remote monitoring of citizens affected by a cardiovascular event undergoing rehabilitation therapies from part of doctors or caregiver.
