i-DEAL
'The Intelligent Design Engine for Assisted Living Technology (i-DEAL)' project, which incorporates a range of schemes to support Assisted Living, is funded by The Technology Strategy Board.
The TSB grant provides valuable R&D funding to industry partners developing innovative new products for the Assisted Living sector. The EPSRC grant provides funding for Coventry University through the new Health Design Technology Institute (HDTI), to develop an industry-focused user-evaluation methodology.
The i-Deal consortium seeks to develop a range of new products in close consultation with end-users. One of the biggest challenges facing industry today, is the development of Assisted Living products which meet the full range of user needs. This consortium brings together industry, academia and end-users to support current product development and devise an effective user-centred design methodology which will ensure products are "Fit for Purpose".
The consortium aims to bring a collection of new products to market, ranging from telemedicine through to environmental control in the context of home and community-based assisted living.
