TING

Description

The overall goal is to develop and evaluate a cost-effective and user-oriented telemedicine solution to increase empowerment. Very different circumstances may lead to the desire or need to capture the current quality of life; examples are (sudden) dysfunction, decreasing potential or performance or temporal absence of certain abilities. The current quality of life depends on the abilities (sensorial, motoric, intellectual capacities or chronic diseases), the lifespan (i.e. the age) and the living environment (rural, cities, alone, in family, retirement home). In order to increase empowerment, the desired quality of life has to be stated. Individual subjective preferences are combined together with objective measured potential. The result will be the future quality of life. The distance between both points is the delta empowerment. The target state can be achieved by applying suited transformations.
