The laboratory was founded in 2009 by Fabio Salice and Sara Comai, to carry out the research and the teaching activities in the field of assistive technologies for fragile persons, with special attention to the elderly and to mild and / or degenerative cognitive disability (dementia and Alzheimer) and motor fragility.
The lab develops its research activity considering people's needs and quality of life at the center of each initiative.
The mission is the following: identify, distribute, implement, promote, and apply innovative methods from ICT for the development of sustainable solutions for fragility and for digital inclusion, which guarantees the recovery of functionalities, social integration, equal opportunities, self-determination and quality of life. The main activities concern the analysis, the study, the project and the development of methodologies, algorithms and applications in the following areas:

• identification of behavioral drifts (Behavioral Concept Drift),
• multi-sensor fusion for the estimation of daily activities (ADL - Activity of Daily Living) and behavioral activities in indoor environments,
• prospective analysis of quality of life linked to personal health (HRQoL - Health Related Quality of Life),
• innovative systems - intrusive (eg wearable devices) and non-intrusive (eg. indoor sensors) - for monitoring in indoor environments (health residences, apartments, ...) and outdoors,
• concurrent detection of both human and hw errors in indoor environments (Human Dependability),
• semantic data visualization and adaptive interfaces,
• support for motor fragility,
• participatory and social support aimed at fragility (eg. motor),
• system integration and hw / sw solutions of environmental intelligence (Ambient Intelligence) to support motor fragility.
