KINOPTIM system architecture: Modules and services for fall prevention through telerehabilitation

Falls are prominent among the causes of unintentional injury, particularly for the elderly, bringing serious socioeconomic impact to ageing societies. To address these challenges, ICT have recently demonstrated their potential in providing fall prevention solutions to the elderly. KINOPTIM project contributes towards this direction by developing a homecare solution that addresses falls in a preventive manner through training of seniors with the support of an interactive gaming platform. On top of the home care solution, KINOPTIM will implement a telemonitoring system that will follow the person's mobility status over time, and a Medical Business Intelligence (MBI) system will assist medical experts to diagnose impairments and related fall risks, to decide for proactive or active interventions. This paper presents the high level architecture of the KINOPTIM platform, comprising the game technologies as well as the sensing and decision support functionalities provided by the platform.
