Abstract (De)
The recent developments in the area of mobile computing have fueled the debate on potential applications for independent living, well-being and medical interventions both in the academic field and in practice. A considerable amount of research and development of IT-based assistance systems is focused on clinical applications. However, assistance systems that can be used in everyday life by a broad user group of people with increased need for care are rare. In this paper we present the vision of iCare—a research program to support a safe and independent living of people with special needs. In addition, we exemplarily introduce DeSearch—a privacy-aware sensor-based network to locate missing people—as a first result of iCare.
