Healthy Aging (AHA) domain [15, 35]. The use of IoT in this domain will support
the independence of older adults while also responding to the needs of caregivers,
service providers and public authorities, as well as contributing to the sustainability
of the health systems.
ACTIVAGE has been designed as a Multi Centric Large Scale Pilot and involves
a set of Deployment Sites (DS or Smart Home Clusters for aged population) [15]. A
DS consists of a group of stakeholders working together in a particular geographical
space, each of them covering different parts of the AHA value network. Hence,
healthcare administration, AHA services, service providers, technology providers
and end users (formal/informal caregivers and elderly people) are some of the possible
participants in a DS. These DS provide AHA services to aged population. Initially,
9 DS, located in 7 countries, were defined in ACTIVAGE. With the second Open
Call, 3 more DS were added (see Table 2). The 12 DS are located in 9 European
countries (see Fig. 2) and use existing open and proprietary IoT platforms. Each
DS is free to use the IoT platform (or platforms) that is more suitable for them as
a base for their infrastructure. The original 9 DS use the following IoT platforms:
FIWARE, SOFIA2, universAAL, SensiNact, OpenIoT, IoTivity and SENIORSOME
(see Table 1).
The use of different IoT platforms requires an interoperability solution in order to
enable co-operation and sharing of information at some degree among them, as well as
to enable the creation of a European AHA ecosystem. Moreover, this interoperability
framework should be extensible to new IoT platforms and AHA services.
