QuaLiSID

People with intellectual disabilities encounter several problems regarding the interaction with their environment in terms of their daily needs, activities and communication. The proposed project aims to contribute to optimizing the opportunities provided to the people with intellectual impairment in order to cope with particular everyday issues, by developing an appropriate, fully functional, interactive support system. The integrated system, on the one hand, will provide various stimuli, facilitate information, serve entertainment, creative activities and training through specialized learning programs, and, on the other hand, it will allow the recognition of emergency situations along with relevant notices towards the responsible care givers. The proposed system will exploit the internet by integrating multiple and different types of operations with the expected result of providing an affordable and user-friendly solution, tailored to the users needs. The project titled “Quality of Life Support System for People with Intellectual Disability”, with the acronym QuaLiSID, is implemented under the Action “Research-Create-Innovate”, co-financed by the European Union and national resources through the Operational Programme Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation (EPAnEK).
