CareWare
Electronic Wearable Sport and Health Solutions
PROJECT SUMMARY
Who cares most for your health? You! Pervasive electronic wearable solutions for health self-monitoring are
rarely integrated together as an interoperable, innovative, user driven go-to-market solution. The CareWare
project aims to develop an innovative solution for integrated unobtrusive cyber physical system aiming at
monitoring and improving personal health and wellbeing. It draws on the results from researches in body area
networks (BAN), wearable sensors, care technologies, electronic textiles, physiological measurements and
personal health service development.
