About the Research & the Report

MSD commissioned OpenSky to conduct and complete a Research report which would outline the correlation between the existence of evolved EVRs (Electronic Vaccination Registries) and higher Vaccine Coverage Rates (VCRs) in the EU, the UK, Norway, Switzerland and Serbia.

Using the HPV Vaccination as a case study, the research commenced in November 2021 and continued into Q2 2022, capturing in-depth data from every country and delivering a heatmap & scoreboard to visualise the correlation between EVRs and VCRs.

About Carelink AAL

The Carelink-AAL partnership included six partners from several countries, CREAGY, UNINOVA, U-Sentric & Akademie Berlingen, TSSG and OpenSky. The goal was to collaborate to create a smart, adaptive and low-cost solution for positively managing the wandering of people with dementia, thereby reducing stress for these individuals and their carers. According to the latest figures by the World Health Organisation, 50 million people live with dementia and every year there are reportedly 10 million new cases.

  • An adaptive wearable belt clip or in-soles tracking device, customised to meet the unique needs of people with dementia.
  • A context-aware, smart-energy wireless sensor suite providing proximity & location data.
  • An open cloud-based ecosystem supporting remote system access and future services development.
  • Intelligent definition of smart safe zones & the prediction of unusual behaviour which may indicate wandering.
  • An alert system that warns of potential hazards or atypical wandering episodes.

About INSPIRATION

The INSPIRATION partnership included 8 partners from several countries; OpenSky, TSSG, CREAGY, ro:mu:s, U-Sentric, HomeLab, Alternatief and terz Stiftung.  The solution consisted of a unified and intuitive user interafce, provision of content, provision of inspiration management and basic status information for 3rd parties.

The goal of INSPIRATION, was to help older adults living a healthier life to stay mentally and physically fit.  INSPIRATION provides health tips and motivates to perform recurring movement exercises.

A daily planner schedules activities and also integrates health tips into shopping lists. Activities are recorded and displayed in a health agenda, where reading rights can be granted to relatives, friends and caregivers. Pressing the done button and the awareness of the performed activities become the main motivators.

The systems main results are: (1) a unified and intuitive user interface that appeals to people who are not familiar with technology, (2) provision of content regarding daily live activities and nutrition, (3) provision of inspiration management including agendas and reminders and (4) basic information for third partners to display health status for caregivers and friends.

VIKEF

Virtual Information and Knowledge Environment Framework

An advanced software framework to enable the integrated development of semantic-based Information, Content and Knowledge (ICK) management systems.

VIKEF bridges the gap between the partly implicit knowledge and information conveyed in scientific and business content resources (e.g. text, speech, images) and the explicit representation of knowledge required for a targeted and effective access, dissemination, sharing, use, and annotation of ICK resources by scientific and business communities and their information- and knowledge-based work processes.

Objectives:The overall VIKEF project objectives are addressing challenging R&D goals in the following five areas: ,1) the acquisition and harmonization of scientific and business ICK resources and resource collections in various formats aiming at a high degree of automation, ,2) the organization and semantic annotation of the acquired linguistic resources by semi-automatic opening up methods combined with the use and evolution of domain ontologies, ,3) the semi-automatic opening up of image, video and multimedia ICK resources and their semantic annotation supported by ontologies and context knowledge, ,4) formats and approaches for semantic representation, interoperability, and integration, and ,5) the reuse of semantic annotation for innovative, value adding community services empowering effective and personalized information access as well as collaboration in the targeted virtual information and knowledge environments for knowledge value chain (KVC) applications.
