SmartWork (Smart Age-friendly Living and Working Environment)

SmartWork is an H2020 project that addresses the challenges faced by office workers as they grow old, and their employers, in a holistic way by designing, implementing and validating in real settings a Worker-Centric AI System integrating unobtrusive and ubiquitous ICT tools and services supporting an age-friendly working and living environment.

BYTE is the Coordinator of this project. BYTE is also leading the tasks that target to the definition of system specifications and architecture and the implementation of the innovative SmartWork modules which support the smart work-management and on-demand training. Moreover, BYTE will lead the System Integration and SmartWork Services Implementation activities.

InteropEHRate

InteropEHRate is an H2020 project that aims to support peoples’ health by opening them up new ways to make health data available where needed. To make this possible, key health data is managed in “patients’ hands”, i.e. through Smart EHRs (S-EHR) on mobile devices. Data is always transferred via highly secure channels including a direct device to device.

InteropEHRate will develop open interchange protocols supporting patient-centred exchange of health records between patients, healthcare actors and researchers. Thus, the project will contribute to the next steps in follow-up of the February 2019 EC recommendation and help to pave the way towards an open European EHR exchange format and process.

INLIFE (INdependent LIving support Functions for the Elderly)

INLIFE is an H2020 project aiming to offer all-around, personalised, multi-faceted existing ICT solutions and services addressing diverse daily activities (eating, physical activity, commuting, mental stimulation, communication, social interaction, etc.) to users with cognitive impairment living in their own home or in sheltered homes, as well as to their formal and informal carers.
Byte is leading the benchmarking activities of the project and conducting and in-depth analysis for specific services. Byte is also leading the risk assessment for identifying any design flaws using best risk analysis practices. Moreover, Byte is refining existing mental training tools to be used in pilots.
