i-PROGNOSIS is a multiscope project that its main objectives revolve around the development of new detection methods and interventions for Parkinson’s, but, also, expand to the societal level.
Our key objectives
Build early detection testsfor Parkinson’s disease based on users’ interaction with everyday technology. |
Design interventionsto sustain the quality of patients‘ life over the course of Parkinson’s disease. |
Empower peopleto affect policies & reduce hospitalisation. |
Detailed objectives
O1 |
Development of the i-PROGNOSIS ecosystem that will identify the risk of healthy older adults (50+) developing Parkinson’s Disease |
O2 |
Large-scale, unobtrusive, behavioural data collection based on: i) older adults’ natural and every day interaction with smart devices and ii) fully guided and controlled testing scenarios |
O3 |
Dynamic monitoring of older adults’s behavioural change based on the above data |
O4 |
Anonymised and secured Cloud-based storage of the captured behavioural data and efficient analysis through modern techniques (i.e. big data analytics and machine-learning) for the development of Information Technology (IT)-based novel early Parkinson’s Disease diagnostic tests |
O5 |
Design and implementation of IT-based supportive interventions towards countering the most frequent Parkinson’s related risks, i.e. frailty, falls and depression |
O6 |
Creation of an information-driven i-PROGNOSIS platform where professionals (Parkinson’s Disease experts) will collaborate with older adults towards optimisation of older adults’ quality of life |
O7 |
Realisation of the i-PROGNOSIS platform with an open, service-oriented and scalable architecture in order to facilitate the integration of new functionalities and services |
O8 |
Promotion of early Parkinson’s Disease detection and related risks awareness via large-scale dissemination activities and social intervention movements |
O9 |
Modelling of the elderlies’ adherence to lifestyle change programs (supportive interventions) and the resultant health outcomes |
O10 |
Realisation of extensive socio-economic analysis in order to inform all the relevant stakeholders of the estimated merits of i-PROGNOSIS initiative |
