The PERSONA Service Platform for AAL Spaces

  • Chapter
Handbook of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments

Abstract

The project PERSONA aims at advancing the paradigm of Ambient Intelligence through the harmonization of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Technologies and concepts for the development of sustainable and affordable solutions for the independent living of senior citizens. PERSONA is one of the integrated projects funded by the European Commission within the 6th Framework Program for IST (Information Society Technologies) on AAL for the Aging Society. It involves the participation of 21 partners, from Italy, Spain, Germany, Greece, Norway and Denmark, with a total budget of around 12 million Euros.
