IOT Testbed

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Northern Periphery and Arctic

Date of latest update: 2023-11-16

Description

Description (EN):

This project focuses on the innovation opportunities offered to healthcare providers and other public bodies by the provision and implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure and strategy. In healthcare across the world, while the IoT can clearly support clinical and patient focussed aspects including diagnostics, treatment, management and aftercare, the 'hidden' aspects of healthcare provision are often less considered. In non-clinical applications, for example, water management, health and safety, energy use, waste management, estate management, medical equipment asset and inventory and many other such areas, there are substantial opportunities for businesses, government agencies, academics and the healthcare providers themselves to develop efficient and effective IoT solutions. The TESTED project uses this non-clinical focus to test the potential for IoT applications comparing three regions in the NPA area. It includes the mapping of current IoT infrastructure and use within each region to establish a comparative baseline; a review of stakeholder opinions of those engaged within the infrastructure as suppliers, stakeholders or end-users; identification of best practice; and, the development of a common but regionally flexible IoT strategy that will enable each region to support IoT Testbeds, and a process whereby such testbed projects (pilots) can be evaluated. the main output will be a STRATEGY, a BEST PRACTICE evidenced INFRASTRUCTURE and a PROCESS to support non-clinical IOT To illustrate this planned methodology and to operationalise the deliverables identified for this project, a specific focus on water management will be developed as a potential exemplar that, following the TESTED project, can be implemented and evaluated with funding from other sources. The output from TESTED will be an easily replicable methodology for use in any other region and with any other public body.

Expected Results (EN): Awareness and attitudes among health professionals towards the use of eHealth technologies

Expected Outputs (EN):

The main results of the project will be: * a healthcare (and other public body) system wide solution that changes the present reactive culture of non-clinical services to one in which a strategic vision and process enables the rapid but validated incorporation of disruptive IoT technologies into system wide healthcare services * A jointly developed best practice based non-clinical IoT strategy for health services (also applicable to other public bodies) * A co-designed practical process incorporating the components of strategic review (what needs to be changed), identification of needs (technical, financial, resource capacity) * Templates for the process * Integration into health service processes (i.e. procurement) TESTED's contribution to the programme result indicator is positive in that supports awareness of IoT opportunities and technologies for non-clinical healthcare service professionals.
