SMART BEAR project, the inclusion phase begins!

SmartBear is a European research project aimed at supporting the autonomy of seniors through the use of connected devices, whose anonymized data is transmitted to an observational platform. Experimented in five European pilot countries, including France, the search phase for candidates, aged 65 to 80 and presenting at least two of the pathologies monitored by the SmartBear project, has begun.

To do this, on March 15 and 16, the CATEL association (e-health community incubator) and the company STREAMVISION (French technical partner of the SmartBear project) welcomed interested seniors to the Forum des Seniors Bretagne (Brittany Seniors Forum) in Rennes. The objective was to encourage them to contact the project's partner clinical center to test their eligibility for the project.

If they are eligible, they will receive a free kit of connected medical devices adapted to their pathology (thermometer, oximeter, smartphone, connected watch, scale, blood pressure monitor, etc. as well as some home automation equipment) which they will test for several months. Following this experiment, they will keep the medical devices. 800 senior volunteers are being sought for this observational study.

In addition to the stand, Maxime Beuzelin made two presentations on the SmartBear project.
