FI- STAR

New ideas are on the way to make healthcare more accurate, more affordable and matching the needs of our changing societies. Demographic changes, progress in technology and in medicine offer options to caregivers and patients, which were unthinkable 20 years ago.

This is what Fi-Star is about and it stands for Social-Technological Alignment Research.

FI-STAR is a Future Internet project aiming at trialing technology in live environments and testing in real world healthcare, wellness and ambient assisted living situations with people as the grow older.

FI-STAR is on a quest to find applications, which could revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered by professionals and informal carers. These new technologies are set to increase the degree of freedom and independence for patients who self-care, especially in remote and rural areas.
