Healthcare & Active Assisted Living
Modern day technical innovation in the field of health and ageing is currently moving towards pluralization of markets for both private consumers and regulated markets, presenting a challenge of a broad range of requirements and needed expertise. Through continuous advancement in information and communication technologies (ICT), novel ways to tackle health- and age-related problems are enabled, while further challenges are created through demographic change as well as through the use of ICT. Current trends are set out to address various stakeholders, covering private consumers, businesses and decision makers in medical and care sectors as well as municipalities. Therefore, topics like patient empowerment, active and healthy aging, eHealth and mHealth, personalized medicine as well as the so-called Silver Economy are increasing in relevance in research across the world.
Due to our broad expertise in research projects and development, we at SYNYO are able to tackle societal and technical challenges related to the field of smart health in developing novel Active and Assisted Living (AAL) solution, to foster digital literacy of end users and policy makers as well as provide relevant know-how on big data, open data and information aggregation, harmonization and visualization. Our strong commitment to responsible research design with special respect to security and privacy led to SYNYOs huge success as one of Europe’s leading research and development SME in the field of active and healthy ageing.
