Purpose: eWALL will be an affordable, easy-to-install prefabricated wall that can be mounted on an existing wall and includes, into the background, all the ICT technology needed to enable a number of services for the senior citizen to cover the major ontologies of Active and Healthy Ageing. The project will carry out high-risk and multi-disciplinary research and will have a large-scale demonstrator exercise for validating the concept with solid clinical evidence. The eWALL system will extend the state-of-the-art of Assistive Platforms and will significantly increase the independent living of seniors. The project will also perform socio-economic studies to deliver recommendations for the health sector that will result in mid- and long-term benefits for the sustainability of national health systems.

Scalable Radio Transceiver for Instrumental Wireless Sensor Networks (SaRaT-IWSN), (no. 20/2012)
Purpose: The SaRaT-IWSN project proposes a new generation radio transceiver to be used into at the IWSN communication node, based on an open source hardware and software platform, but particularized in order to ensure the requirements presented above. The hardware platform is an USRP-type one and the entire radio transceiver is designed starting from the GNU-Radio software platform, according to the Software Defined Radio methods. This method of developing the communication nodes will ensure their scalability as well an easier reconfigurability of the entire network. At the end of the project some recommendations will be considered in order to reduce the costs of the transceivers in order to facilitate their future production and their usage in practical applications.
