Section 0 Executive Summary
The goal of this deliverable D1.16 is to provide an in depth view of the work done by the HOME
SWEET HOME project consortium during the fourth and last reporting period namely from
1/3/2013 to 28/2/2014.
In section 1 a publishable summary of the project is provided for communication purposes.
Section 2 summarises the objectives of the work for this reporting period, basically the real
finalisation of the pilot activities with the actual data collection and monitoring of the older persons’
status, and the final analysis of the outcomes, facilitated by the action of the HOME SWEET
HOME Management team.
Section 3 provides a detailed report of the progress made Workpackage by Workpackage. The most
notable items here are a detailed list of dissemination initiatives carried out (WP2), the activities of
the Advisory Group (WP4) in charge for a high level monitoring of the project with an external,
independent view where an additional, unforeseen task (the Qualitative Study) was designed and
successfully carried out, whereas WP6 and 7 account for the real service operation of the pilot sites.
This is obviously the most critical area of the project as throughout the project’ lifetime the most
relevant deviations from plans were to be found here.
For this reason this is the area where the Management Team and the Steering Committee have put
the most significant efforts and thanks to these the objectives of the project have been reasonably
achieved with the exception on the Italian pilot site.
Section 4 provides the status of the deliverables, Milestones and KPI tables, whereas Section 5
focusses on the Project Management side, with an updated GANTT chart and detailed tables with
the person month tables per partner and per activity.
The main observation is that taking into account the 12 months extension which has been approved
by the European Commission, and due to a certain level of underspending experienced in the
previous reporting period, it has been possible to redistribute the person months allocation over a
longer period.
The remaining sections account for the use of resources on a partner-by-partner basis and for other
administrative details. Finally Appendix I reports on the Status of the actions from the last Project
Review of 25th
April 2013.
The overall picture of the project which stems out from this report is that the project has reached its
natural end with a satisfactory level of achievement of the foreseen results, although this level of
achievement is uneven across the four pilot sites and it has not always been possible to fully
implement all the envisaged solutions: but the conclusion that some of these solutions are not viable
is one of the important lessons we have learned from the project.

Section 1 Publishable summary
HOME SWEET HOME started on 1st March 2010 and trials a new, economically sustainable home
assistance service which extends older persons independent living and finished on the 28th
February
2014 with the total duration extended from the initially foreseen three years to a full four years
lifetime.
The trials were held in four European countries (Belgium, Ireland, Italy and Spain) according to the
randomised controlled trial (RCT) methodology. The objectives of the project were to measure
organisational, economic and clinical effects and to compare the results between a study group and a
control group. Older persons in the control group received normal care such as it was already
provided by local health and social services, whereas people in the study group received additional
ICT-based services.
These additional services supported older persons in their daily activities and allowed caregivers to
remotely assess their ability to stay independent. While systems of this kind inevitably represent an
intrusion in the older persons’ private life, in the case of HOME SWEET HOME particular care has
been put to limit to a bare minimum the need for other people to interfere with the older person’s
private life unless a clear need is detected by the system.
The project comprised the following services:
Monitoring and Alarm Handling,
eInclusion,
Domotics,
Daily Scheduler,
Navigation
and Mental Faculty Maintaining.
The Monitoring and Alarm Handling is based on a Decision Support System which analyses in
real time data collected from medical and environmental sensors, fall detectors and geopositioning
systems. Standard behavioural patterns are established for individuals; sudden, major changes trigger
alarms.
eInclusion is achieved through intuitive videoconferencing based on the familiar TV paradigm and
adapted for use by people unfamiliar with IT technology.
Domotics and Daily Scheduler help older persons to organise their daily activities and to manage
the house in spite of growing physical and mental impairments.
The navigation system takes people who got lost to the closest safe place.
Cognitive training is implemented through interactive games based on cognitive adaptive
technology. Complexity of exercises is adjusted to the performance and current mental level of the
user.
HOME SWEET HOME has measured the differences between control group and study group on:
evolution in the quality of life (assessed by the SF36 questionnaire at the beginning, midterm
and end of the trial period);
duration of independent life;
amount of situation of risk;
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 250449 5 Progress Report 3
changes in the feeling of isolation;
amount of transfers to older persons homes;
cost of social care;
cost of health care.
The project was implemented by a Consortium of 17 partners, both private and public, with a very
strong presence of health and social authorities with budgetary responsibilities for health and older
persons’ care, together with social service providers, healthcare providers, contact centres, healthcare
insurers, an older persons’ people representative association, technology providers and business
consultants.
The project finished on 28th
February 2014 and the final outcomes and findings will be pcompiled
and published soon.

Section 2 Project objectives for the period The objectives of the fourth reporting period were the following:
To proceed with the data collection and monitoring of older persons’ data in the pilots;
To implement the Retention Strategy (for which a specific document was prepared and
circulated among all partners) in order to minimise the level of dropouts;
To collect T24 data;
To perform the final statistical analysis on the collected information and data so as to
elaborate the final outcomes;
To properly complete the project activities and bring the support to the older persons in both
the control and intervention groups to an end, managing the relationship with them;
To implement strict monitoring methods and supporting tools by the Management Team in
order to successfully bring the project to its natural end within the contractual timescale;
To disseminate project information to interested parties;
To successfully carry out 2 PSC Meetings, a number of regional workshops, two Project
Reviews (the third and the fourth one) and one Final Conference;

Work Package 2: Dissemination This WP intends to give high visibility to the activities carried out in the Project. Target audiences
for this dissemination effort are the public and private purchasers and providers of health and social
care to older persons people, social and health insurers, social and health care professionals and
general public.
The dissemination effort will be organised along three communication lines:
- The HOME SWEET HOME website, which will be a living window of the project and will
be constantly updated with the latest results achieved throughout the entire lifecycle of the
Project.
- The HOME SWEET HOME leaflet which will be produced in two versions to support the
presentation of the Project in relevant conferences and fairs. This represents the “classical”
but still widespread marketing tool of any project.
- The HOME SWEET HOME Workshops and Conferences:
o The HOME SWEET HOME Regional Conferences will bring together in each of the
participating Regions 20-30 potential early adopters from neighbouring regions and
countries;
o Midterm Workshop and the Final Conference where 50-60 and 80-100 sector players
respectively will be invited for a face-to-face presentation of the project results to
promote its adoption by public and private social and health care providers.
The full dissemination report for this reporting period is provided as Annex II to this document.
Here we present a summary of the said report.
Based upon our stakeholder analysis we agreed that the 4th period in the Project still needed to focus
on our participants and their relatives in order to keep them motivated for the closing period. Since
this is the 3th year where our participants are using the HOME SWEET HOME services we still need
to focus on avoiding dropouts in both the control and the study group.
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 250449 9 Progress Report 3
Besides our focus on our participants and their relatives we used the fourth period also to inform the
other stakeholders (see arrows) about the results, lessons learned and other important information
about Home Sweet Home. Moreless since we will close down the project a lot of other dissemination
opportunities will occur, now that we can release the gathered information about 4 years of Home
Sweet Home.
As some of our dissemination actions are not specifically for one target group we summarised our
dissemination actions here :
1. Personalised communication :
As mentioned in the former Reviews our focus remained also in this period to keep our
participants and their relatives motivated by stimulating them and informing them about the project.
Besides the physical visits we also spent a lot of effort in making newsletters to keep them informed
but also to make them realise how important they are irrespective of the fact that they are in the study
or in the control group.
o Some examples of the newsletters we made in Belgium and Ireland during the final period
are provided in Annex II.
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 250449 10 Progress Report 3
Besides the use of a regular newsletter we sent out a letter (see Annex II) to all our users at the end
of the project in order to thank them.
2. Website
As agreed at the former Review we had changed our ‘CMS’ system from Smartsite to Drupal.
In the final period we have made some small changes and upgrades to the website.
Our objectives for the new website where the following and we think that all of them where
obtained.
o Easier to use and maintain technology
o Cost efficient (Drupal is an open source technology)
o More modern and fresh look and a more dynamic website
o More friendly in use so that other participants can add information on it by themselves
o Integration with new dissemination tools such as twitter, movies, …
o More living website
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 250449 11 Progress Report 3
Due to the fact that at this stage of the project we have gathered a lot of information that can
be disseminated, we have decided to maintain de website until at least the end of 2015. At the end of
2015 we will evaluate the use of the website and the necessity to have it running longer.

3. Brochures & leaflets
A leaflet has been produced in order to inform about the entire Project. Partners can use this
leaflet as a basis for their own translated version, which can include specific information related to
their target audience. The leaflet has also been announced on LinkedIn, Facebook and our website
and spread through the different events we participated in.
Qualitative analysis
One of the remarks following one of our project reviews consisted in
gathering qualitative information about the HSH users and their
feeling about the project. Therefore a qualitative analysis was set up
and together with the support of the Advisory Board and Age we
have produced a publication on the outcome of a small qualitative
study that took place within the Home Sweet Home user group. The
study aimed at shedding the light to barriers and enablers for the
acceptance of new technologies that where introduced to help older
persons live autonomously and manage better their health. It is
written from the perspective of older persons who use technologies in
their everyday living and it is addressed to all the stakeholders who
are involved in the development and deployment of such solutions :
researchers, service providers, industry and SME’s, public
authorities, health and social care professionals, informal caregivers,
insurers and mutualities and older persons themselves. Instead of
discussing elements specific only to the project, the publication is
drafted in a way that can be useful to various similar settings and sets
of services.
First some information about Home Sweet Home and the study is provided. Then the results of the
study are summarized as answers to the questions : who are older persons and what matters to them ?
In the end, recommendations for future research and practice are given, before presenting the case
studies, which were analysed in order to reach conclusions and lessons learned.
Our qualitative analysis is being disseminated via the website, website of partners (Age, ZB, …),
Twitter, Linked-in, …
4. Video on HSH
In May 2012 we made some videos in order to inform our stakeholders about HSH:
o A day in the life of some of our participants (we followed some of our participants during a
day in order to show the public about HSH, how it is being used, what it means, …);
o A video about the project with short interviews with team members and users;
o A short video per item in order to present the means and use;
o A short video about the installation

19/11/2013 – Regional Conference in Italy – Rome by Darco Servizi.
The occasion of the conference was the first showing on cinema of a reportage about migrants
working in Rome as long term carer for older people or people with disabilities, called “BADAMI”.
The Italian word “bàdami” means “take care of me” and it recalls both the word “badante” which is
an informal way of referring to “long term carers” and the need to better take care of long term carers
and the families of older people and people with disabilities.
26/02/2014 – Final conference : ICT and E-Skills for social Care – Brussels - Belgium
AGE was invited to give a presentation for the final conference of the project Carenet, which worked
on the improvement of ICT skills in the long-term care sector. Bearing in mind the legal and ethical
framework in which social care is provided in Europe and drawing from the experience of AGE
Platform Europe, Nena Georgantzi, Legal Officer, presented older persons’ views on ICT for care
and independent living. In addition, she exposed lessons learned from the Home Sweet Home, which
finalised a qualitative study on ICT acceptance from the perspective of older users.

6. Future dissemination on Home Sweet Home
As the project is coming to an end we are at a point that we have a lot of information that can be
spread to the different stakeholders and can be beneficiary to other EU projects in this field of work.
Home Sweet Home is just one piece of the puzzle to build and extend the evidence base on the
impact if eHealth, eInclusion and Ambient Assisted Living on elderly care and on the independence
of older people. Therefore we will carry on sharing the lessons learnt through the successes and
failures in deploying ICT-based care services.
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 250449 16 Progress Report 3
As you see in the figure below, Home Sweet Home is just one piece of the puzzle and can add
interesting information in order to support independence.
The Home Sweet Home results are being set out in a number of deliverables that will be put public
and will be available on the Home Sweet Home Website, like :
D3.8 Clinical and Quality of life impact assessment.
D3.10 Social Impact assessment.
D3.11 Economic Impact assessment.
D3.12 User Satisfaction assessment.
D3.13 Barriers to deployment.
D4.7 Implementation Guidelines.

Work Package 3: Evaluation, Business Modelling and Development Planning This WP has the following main objectives:
- assessing, independently from the project team, the impact of the HOME SWEET HOME
services on:
o the social and health condition of older persons people;
o the quality of life of the older persons people receiving the service;
o the economics of older persons care delivery.
- surveying the satisfaction of the different categories of users with the service;
- evaluating the potential market for the HOME SWEET HOME services in the EU taking into
considerations the differences between one country and another;
- preparing a Deployment Plan for the subsequent deployment of the service. This will include
a detailed cost/benefit analysis, a billing strategy, and a series of recommendations for setting
up and customising the service.
During the reporting period, all the foreseen deliverables, namely the three
D3.8 Clinical and QoL Impact assessment (incorporating D3.9)
D3.10 Social Impact assessment
D3.11 Economic Impact assessment
D3.12 User Satisfaction assessment
D3.13 HOME SWEET HOME Barriers to deployment
were produced and submitted.
Also, D3.14, Final Deployment Plan was completed with contributions from the various partners.
Unfortunately the contribution for Italy was limited to that from Darco because ASL di Latina never
replied to requests to provide information about their deployment plans in spite of escalating the
issue to the Top Management of the Local Health Authority”.
Also the other foreseen deliverables, namely
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 250449 19 Progress Report 3
Work Package 4: Functional specifications refinement and guidelines elaboration This WP aims to refine the functional specifications of the HOME SWEET HOME Platform. The
starting point for this iterative refinement process is the specifications of the platform, which is
currently available.
The specifications will be progressively refined during the lifecycle of the Pilots making use of the
wisdom of the User Advisory Group, and of the feedback from the pilots that will be collected and
elaborated.
Elaborating guidelines for the successful implementation of HOME SWEET HOME-like services.
This iterative process and the close interaction between technical partners and Advisory Groups
ensures that by the end of the phase the specifications of the Platform are perfectly in line with
market demand
During the fourth reporting period, the following activities were carried out:
The D4.6 Advisory Group (AG) Final Feedback was drafted to reflect the concluding
activities of the AG, in particular the visit to the pilot site of Louth, the outcomes of the
qualitative study and the final recommendations arising from the AG activities throughout the
project. Moreover, the AG comments fed into the final version of D7.4 and the project final
report, as they included long-term considerations and suggestions for future research and
deployment.
Concretely, during this period considerable efforts were made to complete the qualitative
study, which was not initially foreseen as a project deliverable. Following the suggestion of
the AG, several preparatory meetings as presented in D.4.4 (Advisory Group Intermediate
Feedback) and the agreement reached during the 2013 review, AGE coordinated the work
which led to a separate deliverable (D4.8) and a shorter printed and online version to be used
for dissemination purposes.
After consulting all Advisory Group members to gather some initial questions, Heidrun
Mollenkopf and Marja Pijl, from the HSH Advisory Group worked on a voluntary basis on a
first draft of the questionnaire for the qualitative interviews. Then a small working group was
established comprised by the two Advisory Group members and Nena Georgantzi and
Ophélie Durand from AGE Platform Europe, in order to guide the study and deliver the
expected results. Wouter Keisjer and Raniero Chelli from the HSH management team were in
charge of the communications with the pilot sites.
A fist exchange of views on the evolution of the interviews took place during the PSC
meeting in Treviso on October 1st 2013, where all pilots reported that they had selected users
for the interviews: Latina, Louth and Antwerp were planning to involve 5 participants,
whereas Badalona planned to interview all 9 participants of the study group. The Belgian,
Irish and Spanish pilot sites delivered the results by the set deadline (15th November 2013).
After several reminders to the Italian pilot site on the 12th
December 2013, the management
team decided that it is no longer possible to wait for the Italian interviews and therefore the
working group proceeded with the analysis of the received questionnaires from the 3 pilot
sites.
During the Advisory Group meeting in Dundalk on the 18th November 2013 the AG experts,
decided to prepare a document presenting in a synthetised manner the answers from the 3
pilot sites which participated in the study alongside the previously agreed smaller number of
case studies.
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 250449 20 Progress Report 3
On the occasion of the PSC meeting in Badalona and the HSH Final Conference on the 17th
January in Barcelona, the working group met to draft conclusions based on the qualitative
study, harmonise the presentation of the case studies and present some lessons learned and
recommendations to project partners as well as the participants of the Final Conference. At
that time, it was also decided that the outcomes of the qualitative analysis would be presented
in a separate deliverable and only a summary would be included in the Final Feedback of the
Advisory Group. Moreover, AGE was asked to explore the possibility of a separate
publication.
After confirming the availability of the budget, AGE received offers for the design and
publication of the brochure on the outcomes of the qualitative study and coordinated this
work, which led to the publication of the paper entitled ‘ICT for Ageing Well – Listen to what
older persons think!’, which is available here: http://age-
platform.eu/images/stories/Publications/HSH_publication_webversion.pdf
Moreover in November 2013, AGE organised a group visit of the AG to Louth where
experts talked with the Irish partners and visited two of the users of the HSH technology. The
outcomes of this visit are depicted in D4.6
Additionally, AGE has disseminated the project and the results of the qualitative study on a
number of occasions and built synergies with the European Innovation Partnership on Active
and Healthy Ageing.

Work Package 5: Enhancement of the HOME SWEET HOME Platform
This work package aims to enhance the HOME SWEET HOME platform thanks to feedback from
the pilots. The platforms will be adapted on the basis of the functional specifications refined through
the interaction between the technical partners and the Advisory Group (see WP4 description) and
will make use of the existing HOME SWEET HOME Platform and other ready-made components
and sub-systems.
Original development will be limited to bridging software to integrate additional components and
sub-systems and to minor adaptations of the platform to align it with user requirements. New
versions of the platform will be fully tested before they are released for the subsequent set-up of the
validation sites.
Two versions of the Platform are foreseen during the lifecycle of the Pilots in addition to the original
platform at the start of the Project to incorporate in the environment the suggestions derived from the
initial part of the trials.
The second version of the Platform should achieve a completeness and comprehensiveness to support
the further deployment of the HOME SWEET HOME services outside the original pilots.
There are no changes to report concerning the evolution of the HSH platform.

Work Package 6: HOME SWEET HOME service set-up and technical support
The HOME SWEET HOME platforms will be installed in the pilot sites. This implies the
procurement of the monitoring, domotic, mental faculty training and eInclusion platforms, their
installation onsite and the testing of the systems installed in the older persons’ homes. In parallel the
central modules of the HOME SWEET HOME environment will be installed in the Contact Centres
and integrated with the existing IT infrastructure of such centres.
A two-tier helpdesk will be set-up. User will receive first level support from the Contact Centre
operators who, in turn, will have access to a second level helpdesk for problems that go beyond the
competence of such operators.
The Help desk and contact centre in each site continued to operate normally until the end of the
contractual period, after which they were discontinued after having informed the participants in the
trials

Grant Agreement nr. 250449 23 Progress Report 3
Work Package 7: Real-life trials
They are aimed at:
- testing the HOME SWEET HOME environment with a real-life user sample and evaluating
their level of acceptance and satisfaction with the concept and with the specific
implementation of the services represented by the platform (usability, user-friendliness,
relevance, etc.);
- collecting quantitative data towards assessing the impact of the service on the economics of
delivering social and health care and on the clinical conditions of the Study Group.
A close co-ordination and a frequent exchange of view will be maintained among the users and the
HOME SWEET HOME partners involved in the for real-life trials which are carried out in parallel.
Monthly meetings among the various teams will be held through videoconferencing and
teleconferencing to exchange experiences, ideas and suggestions.
During the fourth reporting period, the following activities were carried out. They are described from
the partners’ perspective.

investigation of possibilities: ongoing - few left, no possibilities to install so far : after investigation
at our own doors we have reached the following conclusions:
installation is not possible on all types of doors.
is this system reliable since it operates on batteries? The lock and the
remote control both operate on batteries. If the battery is low it is
possible that the door won’t open anymore with the remote control
when the batteries of the keymatic are flat, the lock can be opened by
turning a wheel on the keymatic, but this repetitive movement can
strain the wrist of the user.

The radio frequency could be a security issue.
a door system using a badge is far more easy to use for elderly people
(this was shown in other projects)? Doors can be opened just by
putting the badge next to the badge reader, even when the badge stays
inside the wallet or handbag. A badge is easily to replace or reprogram
in case of lost or changes in habitants.

Meetings with the project team +- every 3 weeks at Digipolis
o ZNA: medical issues;
o Mutas: alarm topics;
o Zorgbedrijf: technical support, coordination, occupational therapist;
o Digipolis: technical support, coordination;
o Voorzorg: occupational therapist;
o CM: physiotherapist;
o Zwijsen: technical installations.
Spreading the candidates per therapist
o Zorgbedrijf: 9 study, 12 control group;
o Voorzorg: 5 study, 7 control group;
o CM: 10 study, 9 control group.
Follow up in Google docs
o All the members of the project team document each contact they have with their
seniors: technical visits, monthly diary, social visits, etc.
o At every project meeting all the candidates are followed up: are there technical issues?
Is an extra visit needed? Are the values of the sensors coming through? Is the Mambo
online, etc…?
Job for the project team ongoing and to be continued
o Configuration of the alarms on the Portal:
medical alarms to be handled by sending a weekly overview to the medical
coordinator: ok, done
environment alarms to be set up: ok, done
o Ello! training (and motivating candidates); upgrade to new version busy – no new
candidates found
o Investigation of possibilities to install HomeMatic (keymatic): the possibility of
adding domotic remote controls has a great impact because it facilitates independent
living, as it allows to remotely control the house (by relatives or call centre) in case of
difficulties for the elderly person;
o Test:
Technical part :
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 250449 25 Progress Report 3
The pending call was correctly shown on the navigation webpage.
The position was correct within a range of a few meters and the position
updated.
o Usability : The frequency of the position update should be more frequent.
The operator wasn’t always informed in time when the “older person” took a
wrong turn.
The proposed route wasn’t always the ideal route for a person on foot to the
safe point.
o
o EPIDATA workshop: input CRF’s and monthly diaries in database; T24 realised
o Newsletter to end the project and to check which devices the people want to keep.
Only off line devices are free to use after the project : smoke detector, scale, blood
pressure meter
o Battery replacement plan: stopped in January while the project ends
o New games have been installed and used by the seniors : OK
3. Problems dealt with
Technical problems
o No new technical problems
Dropouts
o Last drop outs : going to nursing homes or passed away

Grant Agreement nr. 250449 26 Progress Report 3
o Uninstall platforms at the end of the project: Realized by the teamwork.
Data collection
o CRF: done
o Diaries: monthly: done
o All data collected and sent them to the project coordinator.
Call Centre/ Helpdesk Activity
o Protocol implemented by Call CentreAsmedit and ongoing.
o Registration of data / activity: Asmedit has created an excel database with the
participants’ contact and monitoring their actions.
2. The project teamwork
BSA Pilot Site Team: clinical staff + technical staff
o Teamwork for installation phase, and monitoring and resolution problems (In Touch
and environmental devices).
o Daily contact in El Carme centre: most suitable person to solve problems following
protocols.
o The nursing staff conducted evaluations and testing protocol and the coordinator
update the data in internal EPIDATA.
Asmedit Call Centre
o First action after an alarm or call. Monitoring since 24/7 and ongoing.
o Weekly contact with BSA pilot team;
o Free access to call centre activity and register for real-time information.
Contacts and monthly monitoring
o Clinical members of BSA pilot team note down contacts, visits and alarms triggered
by the platform in shared files in the internal server of BSA. Although Asmedit is
responsible for responding to and managing calls and alarms, the BSA pilot team is
responsible for collecting and registering;
o Extra visits needed from both clinical or technical staff are performed within 24 and
48 hours after the problem is detected. Telephone contacts are done regularly to
improve adherence to the project and collect monthly information.
o The teamwork visited all participants in the collection of devices and uninstall
platforms.
o Some letters of thanks were sent to the participants (control and case group) to thank
for their help and cooperation.
Implemented actions
o Set up an observation group: We install a multiple platform in our centre to observe
its functionality in hospitalised patients. Its implementation did not provide medical
support for team given that it were supplementing some of the advantages of the
device by the medical protocol itself.
o Implemented and checked another device (related with the integration of technology
in smartphones Mambo)
3. Problems to deal with
Technical problems
o Ello!: Finally, the problems with the videoconference didn’t solve, and participants
had problems to use it easily.

2. Project team work
Follow up of patients pushing for equipment regular usage.
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 250449 28 Progress Report 3
Push on patients for teleconferencing usage
Push on patient for Mambo usage
Collection of data for Qualitative Analysis
Collection of data for T24 measurements
3. Outstanding Problems
The reluctance we experienced in the previous period in using the system by the patients has
continued also for technical problems that affected the InTouch and their fragility to power
blackouts.
Moreover it is confirmed that probably the great inexperience in using technology in general and
the low level of digital culture is a barrier to the diffusion of this kind of system in a countryside
population with low level of education. More attention to training of patients and of their
relatives should be given when trying to deploy the system in such a social environment.
A tighter support to elderly patients would be needed in order to avoid disaffection to the
system.

Section 5 Project management
Fourth reporting period
The project management activities carried out during the fourth reporting period have been described in
the subsection related to WP1 above. Below the challenges and achievements of this reporting period
can be found:
One important activity which has been carried out in spring 2013 has been to prepare the third
Annual Review which was held in Brussels on the 25ht of april, 2013: the outcome of this
meeting was that the Commission found the HOME SWEET HOME Consortium not fully
performing its contractual obligation and gave them the deadline of the 30th of June to reissue
a number of deliverables and documents in order to bring them to a satisfactory level of
quality. This was done although some iterations were needed until at the beginning of
December the final version of the review report was issued by the review panel giving the
project the green light to continue.
The most critical situation was the one of the Italian pilot, due to a number of factors which
have been mentioned several times. Although most of the technical problems were sorted out,
the critical situation continued due to the difficulties encountered by ASL Latina to allocate
the proper staff to the project, which resulted in a low level of uptime of the devices at the
patients’ homes, and this situation has continued until the end of the project.
As regards the other three sites (namely Belgium, Spain and Ireland) the situation was better
and most of the project’s activities were carried out as foreseen.
The situation in Latina, due to the problems reported above, never reached a level comparable to the
other pilot sites and some of the data collection activities such as the completion of the Participant
diaries have not been carried out regularly or not at all. This raises issues about the comparability of
data between Latina and the other pilot sites.
On the other hand Latina is providing invaluable lessons about the implication of deploying AAL
platforms and services in a rural and mountainous area where nothing is easy and where the cultural
background is very different of that found in most urban areas. And this even without considering
that the trial in Latina has coincided with the worst financial and political crises that Italy and Lazio
have gone through since the end of the Second World War.
Although Latina has not provided scientifically valid evidence, it has provided us with a lot of
understanding of the problems that we can expect to come across when we will try to roll out AAL
services throughput the European Union.
The recommendation of the Management Team has been to keep Latina until the end of the Project
and to do the very best to squeeze out of this experience as much information as possible e.g. by
interviewing people there rather than asking them to provide written contributions what has turned
out to be very difficult for them to do, which was done on the occasion of the qualitative study.

Comments on person-months status table
The discrepancy between the planned effort and the actual one is almost exclusively due to the effect of the Contact Centre activities and to the need
to provide a 24/7 coverage as it has been reinstated several times in previous Project Reviews. The impact of such a coverage was underestimated at
the time of preparing the budget. The way the Contact Centres have organised themselves to provide the service varies from one site to another.
This explains the differences in the effort claims between Darco and the other partners providing this kind of service. The issue will be thoroughly
covered during the Annual Review.

configuration of the Mambo, 2
test devices in the Louth lab
were reconfigured and reset.
Another test was carried out on
both devices using the same
conditions as the May test.
Both devices were visible on
the portal map.
All Mambo devices were
subsequently recalled and
reset.
At PSC 8 in Treviso we were
tasked by the Project
Management to carry out a
response test on the portal.
This test was carried out in late
October and early November.
Results showed that the
response upload for change of
position on the portal was
anything from 2 to 3 ½ minutes
depending on cloud cover and
location. This is normal
considering that the Mambo is
configured to send an SMS
with the position every 2
minutes.

3) The statistical justification
should be given soon as to why
30% dropouts are acceptable as
opposed to the previously
mentioned 20%, A simple
statement is not sufficient
The justification was provided
in detail during the Review
Meeting. The same arguments
have been compiled in a short
document which is attached as

that the consortium never said
that 20% was the maximum
acceptable threshold. The

4) Resolve the 5 minute delay in
locating Mambo users on GPS soon
– modern technology simply
doesn’t suffer these problems
This is the same problem
reported under
recommendation n.2 but for the
other sites as well. Apparently
it is a problem due to the
Mambo devices which has to
be considered and end-of-life
product. Tests are being run
with a state-of-the-art
smartphone and the first results
are very satisfactory, however
it is clearly note feasible to
change the device three months
before the end of the project, if
nothing else because this
would imply a new round of
training for the elderly persons.
One of the important lessons
we have learned from the pilots
is that the system will only be
accepted by the users if the
functions currently provided by
the Mambo are embedded into
the smartphone that a growing
number of elderly person have
learnt to use. At the same time,
this will also solve the delay
problem experienced with the
Mambo, as the tests have
shown.

proposed replacements for the
telehealthcare unit, the Mambo, the
teleconferencing service and, if
judged worth continuing with, the
domotic devices.
See more details in Section 5
following
The market addressed by the
elderly care providers
participating in HOME
SWEET HOME is not a
consumer market, but a captive
one, and it will remain captive
for the foreseeable future. It
does not make sense therefore
to compare the services they
provide with other services
price-wise because they will be
offered for free to individuals
qualifying for these after they
have been assessed. The
purpose of the project is not
comparing one technological
platform with another, but
rather understanding which out
of the wide spectrum of
services provided through the
platform are worthwhile to
provide in the future. At first
glance, the domotic devices are
not easily adaptable to an
existing flat or house, and
therefore in the future they will
only be considered when new
flats will be built, which is
certainly the case in Antwerp.
Whether the domotic devices
eventually installed in the flats
are the HomeMatic ones
foreseen in HOME SWEET
HOME or other ones is totally
irrelevant for the purpose of
the Project, which was never
aimed at evaluating the merits
of a specific platform
compared to another. The
replacement component issue
is now covered in D3.6, but the
other requests are not
appropriate in the framework
of the Project and have been
ignored.

The project is requested to respond
to the recommendations 1-7 above
by 1 December 2013 and
recommendation 8 by 11 November
2013 If these deadlines are not met,
the reviewers are currently minded
to recommend to the Commission
that it begins the process of ending
the project
Although we can understand
the dissatisfaction of the
Reviewers with some aspects
of the Project, we can hardly
see the rationale of terminating
the Project less than 3 months
before its natural end. This will
not allow the Commission to
save any money, and will
hamper the Project to provide
useful input for future project
and into the EIP for Active and
Health Ageing which addresses
exactly the same issues as
HOME SWEET HOME
although at a far higher level.
All
recommendations
have been
addressed.
The project’s biggest problem is
what to try to commercialise at the
end of EC funding:
The project does not try to
commercialise any platform or
any product. HOME SWEET
HOME is run by elderly care
providers and is aimed at
evaluating the impact of ICT-
based service on a number of
indicators covering the
acceptance, the usability, the
sustainability, etc. of these
services. The platform is just
an enabler for the provision of
services and represents the
technology level at the start of
the Project. There are no
doubts that if the Project
started today, there would be a
different platform because
technology has evolved in the
meantime but the functionality
of it will remain basically the
same. Should the participating
elderly care decide to continue
providing the services, a
replacement of some elements
of the solution would be more
than appropriate and the
conditions for such a

replacement will have to be
discussed between the
individual providers and the
platform supplier. It is worth
noting in this context that
Appendix III to the DoW
(section APP.III.10) contains
the commitment of the
participating elderly care
providers to continue providing
the services after the end of the
EU funded phase if the Project
demonstrates that the services
“have a positive impact on the
various aspects considered in
the evaluation (health,
wellbeing, user satisfaction,
etc.) and that they are
financially sustainable for all
the elderly persons who qualify
for receiving them because of
their social, physical and
mental conditions”.
The original tele-healthcare device
is now so out of date that in its
current form it is unsaleable – as
stated in D3.6, the tablet
replacement should be explored
immediately
Such a change is not foreseen
in the contract between the
platform supplier and the
elderly care providers
participating in HOME
SWEET HOME. The upgrade
of the platform, which would
not make sense for the few
months remaining before the
end of the EU-funded phase
especially considering the time
need to retrain the older user to
use a different piece of
technology.

The Mambo device seems to be
quite hopeless with long & critical
delays that modern smartphones
simply don’t have: it cannot be
either cost effective or customer
responsive to continue. Alternatives
such as the older persons’ phone
made by Doro should be urgently
investigated
Because project excluded older
people with dementia, it
effectively excluded the most
likely persons to benefit from
it. In addition, mobile phones
are now much more pervasive,
even among older people.
Since there is, as yet, no
reliable fall detection
algorithm, value of Mambo or
Mambo replacement is
debateable.
The ‘ello videoconferencing seem
likewise to be deeply unattractive.
There is now a range of
possibilities – if the free Skype is
not acceptable, Vidyo make a better
quality and more secure system that
is easy to use and inexpensive.
Skype is likely replacement –
many already have PC/laptop
with this.
The domotic control hardware
seems to be so specialised as to
question its general usability; if the
decision is made to continue
offering it as a service, then the
project needs to research equipment
that can actually be used in older
persons’ homes
Homematic devices require
intrusive work on doors,
windows etc, and are
unacceptable to many users.
Need is unclear, even if project
was unable to check this.
Environmental devices are OK.

All the above urgently need tying
together into a compelling service
offering that compares favourably
in overall price with the principal
competition in each country.
We have to insist on the fact
none of the partners
participating in HOME
SWEET HOME is in the
business of providing services
on the free market. All of them
are institutional provider of
elderly care and have a captive
market represented by the
population they are paid for
looking after. Competition
exists of course among the
platform suppliers but this
aspect falls completely outside
the scope of the Project. In the
procurement of platforms for
the continuation of the current
service or the extension of it,
the participating elderly care
providers will put the potential
providers in competition with
one another to get the best
value for money but this,
again, falls completely outside
the scope of the Project.

In addition, too many difficulties
have appeared in the
implementation, usability, market
expectancies, etc of the system.
Also, preliminary results are not
very encouraging that the use of
such a system would have an
impact on elderly people’s health
status or quality of life.
It is too early to infer that the
use of such a system would
have an impact on elderly
people’s health status or
quality of life. As in any RCT
results cannot be published
before the end on the Project.
Having said that, no major
changes are expected on the
people’s health status because
a survey of some 135 RCT of
telemonitoring conducted a
couple of years ago by Richard
Wootton, Director of Research
of the Norwegian Centre for
Integrated Care and
Telemedicine, showed that, on
average, telemonitoring has a
neutral effect of health status.
Of the contrary, DREAMING,
a predecessor project to
HOME SWEET HOME
showed a statistically
significant improvement in the
health related quality of life.
There are no reasons why
HOME SWEET HOME should
not get to the same
conclusions.
Regarding the “Impact indicators”
table, in most cases it is said N/A,
so, why are they considered as
indicators? Also, in those indicators
that are explained, the results are
not very good. Specially worrying
is that of falls, that is not working
(explained before)?
It was expected at the start of
the project that fall detection
algorithms would improve. In
practice, there appears still to
be no acceptable algorithm /
device that detects falls
reliably.

ANNEX II Dissemination report
Based upon our stakeholder analysis we agreed that the 4th period in the Project still needed
to focus on our participants and their relatives in order to keep them motivated for the closing
period. Since this is the 3th year where our participants are using the HOME SWEET HOME
services we still need to focus on avoiding dropouts in both the control and the study group.
Besides our focus on our participants and their relatives we used the fourth period also to
inform the other stakeholders (see arrows) about the results, lessons learned and other
important information about Home Sweet Home. Moreless since we will close down the
project a lot of other dissemination opportunities will occur, now that we can release the
gathered information about 4 years of Home Sweet Home.

our dissemination actions here :
2. Personalised communication :
As mentioned in the former Reviews our focus remained also in this period to keep our
participants and their relatives motivated by stimulating them and informing them about the
project. Besides the physical visits we also spent a lot of effort in making newsletters to keep
them informed but also to make them realise how important they are irrespective of the fact
that they are in the study or in the control group.
o Here are some examples from the newsletters we made in Belgium and Ireland at the final
period.

As agreed at the former Review we had changed our ‘CMS’ system from Smartsite to Drupal.
In the final period we have made some small changes and upgrades to the website.
Our objectives for the new website where the following and we think that all of them where
obtained.
o Easier to use and maintain technology
o Cost efficient (Drupal is an open source technology)
o More modern and fresh look and a more dynamic website
o More friendly in use so that other participants can add information on it by themselves
o Integration with new dissemination tools such as twitter, movies, …
o More living website

end of 2015 we will evaluate the use of the website and the necessity to have it running
longer.

7. Brochures & leaflets
A leaflet has been produced in order to inform about the entire Project. Partners can use this
leaflet as a basis for their own translated version, which can include specific information
related to their target audience. The leaflet has also been announced on LinkedIn, Facebook
and our website and spread through the different events we participated in.
Qualitative analysis
One of the remarks following one of our project reviews consisted in
gathering qualitative information about the HSH users and their
feeling about the project. Therefore a qualitative analysis was set up
and together with the support of the Advisory Board and Age we
have produced a publication on the outcome of a small qualitative
study that took place within the Home Sweet Home user group. The
study aimed at shedding the light to barriers and enablers for the
acceptance of new technologies that where introduced to help older
persons live autonomously and manage better their health. It is
written from the perspective of older persons who use technologies in
their everyday living and it is addressed to all the stakeholders who
are involved in the development and deployment of such solutions :
researchers, service providers, industry and SME’s, public
authorities, health and social care professionals, informal caregivers,
insurers and mutualities and older persons themselves. Instead of
discussing elements specific only to the project, the publication is
drafted in a way that can be useful to various similar settings and sets
of services.
First some information about Home Sweet Home and the study is provided. Then the results
of the study are summarized as answers to the questions : who are older persons and what
matters to them ? In the end, recommendations for future research and practice are given,
before presenting the case studies, which were analysed in order to reach conclusions and
lessons learned.
Our qualitative analysis is being disseminated via the website, website of partners (Age, ZB,
…), Twitter, Linked-in, …

The occasion of the conference was the first showing on cinema of a reportage about migrants
working in Rome as long term carer for older people or people with disabilities, called
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 225023 93 Progress Report 3
“BADAMI”. The Italian word “bàdami” means “take care of me” and it recalls both the word
“badante” which is an informal way of referring to “long term carers” and the need to better
take care of long term carers and the families of older people and people with disabilities.

A long list of invitations was made. The parterre of the cinema could count on the presence of
more than a hundred people The conference was addressed primarily to institutions and policy
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 225023 94 Progress Report 3
makers, to show the problems of families which are not supported by a strong net of social
and health services, together with the problems of migrant long term carers who have
difficulties in working in new, culturally different environments, with no clear recognition of
their skills and tasks to do within their job, and no support from institutions.
There was also a strong presence of professionals coming from the third sector, which is the
main actor providing private long term care services in Italy, as well as dealing with migrant
workers.
The presence of the delegates of Home Sweet Home had the objective to show how
technology in health care services is crucial to help better off the life of older people and
people with disabilities and to raise the quality of work of long term carers, releasing them
from some responsibilities and giving them easier instruments to care. At the same time the
new technologies of tele-care prove to be less expensive than traditional care, helping public
health care to foresee a more organized and cost effective integrated care to people, especially
in this actual framework of ageing and economical crisis. That is why on the desk in the foyer
of the cinema there was a table with Home Sweet Home leaflets and a monitor showing the
project’s dissemination videos.
The breakdown of attendees is shown below.

Final Conference – Barcelona, January 16th
, 2014
Addressed to the stakeholders of the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) market of products and
services for the elder, E4S conference provided a forum for discussion on the different
strategies that can be approached to reach the market in this area, exploring also the ways
forward to respond to the challenge from the technical side. Experts, IT developers, and end
users had the opportunity to share a day with an open exchange of news and views about the
ICT support oriented to the Active and Healthy Ageing.
The conference consisted of a one-day event, divided in two sessions, the morning and the
afternoon, with a lunch break for networking.
By 2025 more than 20% of Europeans will be 65 or over, with a particularly rapid increase in
the number of over 80s. Greater life expectancy is of course a positive result of progress, but
it raises important challenges for the 21st century: how to meet the higher demand for
healthcare? How to adapt health systems to the needs of an ageing population while keeping
them sustainable in societies with smaller workforce? Moreover, the demographic changes are
expected to have substantial consequences on public finances in the EU. On the basis of
current policies, age-related public expenditures (pensions, health-care and long-term care)
are projected to increase by 4.1% to around 29% of GDP between 2010 and 2060.
In the context of an ageing Europe, with some of its member states endangered by the failure
of the welfare state and questioned its capacity to maintain the social model, the opportunity
to invest in innovative services built around new technologies that can provide cost effective
solutions to cope with the shortcuts the Public services are facing is a safe bet for the future.
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 225023 103 Progress Report 3
The way the European Union, through the R&D programmes of the EC, has been addressing
the topic is a reflection of the evolution undergone in Europe and the demographic changes
related with life expectancy occurring in the last 15 years. The development of a new market
for the elderly should combine, with the help of the technologies, the empowerment of the
elderly in taking care of their health, with the self-management of their disease and a whole
new set of services that should satisfy the growing needs.
To make technology a key enabler for the success of AAL solutions, the providers have to
assure users a simple and affordable access to new services and apps that support their current
devices and particular user interface needs. The availability of common open platforms based
on a standardized approach using existing components, services, and external systems seems
to be the key to guarantee the feasibility and sustainability of innovative solutions.
In this context, E4S conference provided a forum for understanding and discussing different
strategies in this area, and to explore ways forward for the future to respond to the challenge
from the technical side.
Progress so far (represented by the organizing projects and their strategies to promote
innovation) and the growth of the critical-mass to increase the chances of impact for
individual projects in the real deployment of a market for AAL products and services were the
protagonists.
Do they actually have a market now?. What can we learn from them? From different
perspectives, universAAL as enabler and Home Sweet Home as way to the market, showed
their expectation for the short and long-term markets.
E4S also had the pleasure to host Alexandre Kalache (President, International Longevity
Centre – Brazil) as keynote speaker who offered to the audience a critical overview of a social
issue becoming a market opportunity highlighting government’s point of views from
inclusion to the active and healthy aging and empowerment.
On the other hand Jan Komarek presented the EC view: the current programme Horizon2020,
the future and the main trends as well the expectations of the EC on next projects.
Afterwards three round tables have been arranged involving representatives of Public
Administrations, Users, the Industry, and Insurance companies allowing speakers and
attendees to share opinions and make questions on the following three main topics:
- The barriers between the medical and the social services: integrating care. The view of the
Public Administrations as enablers: billing, reimbursement models, and public procurement.
- The IT perspective and the E4S: From open source to interoperability and standards. From
legal issues to regulations. How flexible can we expect the market to be? What kind of
technical/standardisation progress is needed? How to assure the right to privacy and security
in this context?
- The boundary between the healthy elderly person and the patient: The client and the user.
Different strategies to address the market? What the users have to say?. Do we listen to them?
Ethical issues.

Thanks to the interaction among speakers and participants, the event achieved its main
objective: to promote a debate about ways to make it real.
Additionally, the conference hosted during the whole day a ‘Demo lounge’, where the
projects ‘universAAL', 'Home Sweet Home' and others European projects in the area of AAL
showed demonstrations of their results and features.
Lastly, the conference offered also to the attendees a unique opportunity of networking with
other people operating in ICT and health sectors and explore potential synergies. Moreover,
lessons learnt, strategies for bridging pilots to real market for deployment or increasing the
chances of impact for individual projects in the real deployment of a market for AAL
products and services have been some of the topics at the centre of the conference.

10. Future dissemination on Home Sweet Home
As the project is coming to an end we are at a point that we have a lot of information that can
be spread to the different stakeholders and can be beneficiary to other EU projects in this field
of work.
Home Sweet Home is just one piece of the puzzle to build and extend the evidence base on
the impact if eHealth, eInclusion and Ambient Assisted Living on elderly care and on the
independence of older people. Therefore we will carry on sharing the lessons learnt through
the successes and failures in deploying ICT-based care services.
As you see in the figure below, Home Sweet Home is just one piece of the puzzle and can add
interesting information in order to support independence.
The Home Sweet Home results are being set out in a number of deliverables that will be put
public and will be available on the Home Sweet Home Website, like :
D3.8 Clinical and Quality of life impact assessment.
HSH Project Progress Report 4
Grant Agreement nr. 225023 113 Progress Report 3
D3.10 Social Impact assessment.

Besides the dissemination via the website we still have a lot of partners that will keep
spreading the results from Home Sweet Home to other potential partners, projects, … like
