This invitation came following the work conducted by UTM as part of project Living Usability Lab, which featured some of the partners of the AAL4ALL, and the research activities that have been conducted in partnership with Microsoft.
In this project, the UTM will be responsible for developing technologies to locate people in indoor spaces using video cameras, a line of research that has grown in recent years at UTM. This activity will be developed in close collaboration with Microsoft. Pedro Car valho will be representing UTM in this project, with the support of João Pedro Monteiro.
The
AAL4ALL project aims to create an
ecosystem to promote the
development of business solutions in the field of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) in
Portugal. The main objective is to create a framework that facilitates
the development of technologies that
help reduce support costs and
improve the quality of life of
elderly citizens in Portugal. At USIG, the AAL4ALL project
is led by Ângelo
Martins.
