What is an Innovation Platform?

They address a major policy and societal challenge, by..understanding Government’s intended use of

regulation and procurement to address challenge

..engaging with business and the research community to identify appropriate responses and their development needs

..supporting programmes to deliver innovative solutions

Network Security Intelligent Transport Systems Low Carbon Vehicles Low Impact Buildings Assisted Living Detection and Identification of Infectious

Agents

There are a lot more people

65

85

The UK population over 65 is expected to almost double to 16.8 million by 2051…

…and the number suffering from long-term conditions will rise from 18.5 million to 20.6 million by 2020

75% - 85% of worldwide healthcare spending is on chronic disease management

The global remote healthcare market is worth about £394M. What are the projections for the future???

Assisted Living

The challenge

“Our health, our care, our say” – 2006to become more responsive to patient needs and prevent ill health by promoting healthy lifestyles – includes provision of care closer to and at home

The Preventative Technology Grant – 2006-8to initiate a change in the design and delivery of health, social care and housing services and prevention strategies…

to enhance and maintain the well-being and independence of individuals.

Whole system demonstrator programmeNewham, Kent and Cornwall. Large scale - case controlled.

Assisted Living

The response – Department of Health

Aim of the Assisted Living IP The aim of the platform is to significantly advance the technology

to meet the demand for independent living from those suffering from chronic conditions (e.g. CHD, COPD, Type 2 Diabetes, Alzheimer's) in particular the increasing demand from the increasing number of the elderly.

Our job is to give the technology greater capability, make it easier to use and cheaper.

This presents a major opportunity for companies involved in the

existing telecare market, for new players and for SMEs.

The Technology Roadmap January 2007– Headlines Communications: addressing isolation, increased interactions between

individuals and systems. Improved user interfaces, navigation and location (mobility?).

Data Processing: Data mining and data fusion Sensors and Devices: increasing the range of functions and improving

performance and design Cross cutting issues: Security and authentication, systems reliability and

integration and interoperability Available on the Health Technologies KTN web site:

At the moment… 1. Working up proposal to look at economic

business models. 2. Working up proposal to look at social/societal

issues, hopefully a Call launch in August. 3. Horizontal action on user involvement in all

technology oriented collaborative projects. 4. Looking at joint activity with IPs in diagnostics,

security privacy and trust IP, Intelligent Transport IP, LIBIP
