Description (EN):

NATIFLIFE provides effective technological solutions to the growing needs of independency and autonomy of elderly and people with impairments. The main project objective is the development of an innovative framework of assistive technology by a joint action between research, industrial, institutional and social sectors. The project intends to provide End Users with autonomy, thus enabling dehospitalization, staying in places of origin and avoiding to break the bonds with families. This will reduce costs to the National Health System. The NATIFLife project will produce the following main outputs: - The strengthening of two research centres, one in Malta and one in Catania, equipped with innovative facilities to perform joint disruptive research in the field of assistive technology. Research centres will become a reference for enterprises willing to tackle the field of assistive technology. - The development of timely research and an integrated platform of assistive technology compliant with innovative and traditional solutions. -The realization of two pilot demo sites, one in Malta and one in Catania, where innovative and traditional solutions can be validated by End-Users, by a strong joint efforts between Enterprises, Institutions and Research Centres. This will be the first example of a joint cross-border action to bring technology close to End-Users.
