BackHome is the first European research project aimed at delivering the ambitious, but critical,

step to bring BCI systems to mainstream markets

Main outcomeso new and better integrated

practical electrode systems

o friendlier and more flexible

BNCI software

o better telemonitoring and home

support tools

Telemonitoring and Home Support Systems (TMHSSs) provide a range of services which enable users to transition more smoothly into the home

environment and be maintained for longer at home

Facilitate services which are

convenient for users, avoiding travel

whilst supporting participation in

basic healthcare

Can be a cost effective intervention

which promotes personal

empowerment

Why

indoors activitieso Percentage of time in each room

o Time spent watching TV / playing games / …

outdoor activitieso Covered distance by “walking”

o Covered distance by transportation

Monitoring indoor and outdoor activities as well as BCI use at home

What

BCI useo Session time and duration

o Used services and number of selections

Two weeks ago, the system has been installedin 4 end-users’ home in Belfast

Preliminary Experiments: Mobility

The system is currently running at healthy-users’ homes in Barcelona. Experiments with end-users in Belfast started two weeks ago!

What’s next?

Expected results and actions

o Behavior recognition

Personalization and adaptation of the system

o Alarm triggering

Notification to therapist(s)

Notification to the user and her therapist(s)

Closing remarks

A telemonitoring and home support system for people with

severe disabilities

Support for both the user and her therapist(s)
