LUMENTILE originates from an idea of disruptive innovation, where the joint use of new technologies creates added value and new functionalities for traditional materials, thus turning the classical ceramic tile into a “multifunctional electronic luminous tile” realized by large area and organic electronics. LUMENTILE can be also considered as design-driven innovation, where we give a different meaning to the use of light driven by the design, by empowering it to be used as a radical different designed element for architecture, as a skin integrated element for interior design, lighting or advertising purposes. The demand for aesthetically integrated and creative construction elements is steadily increasing in many areas of business and industries. A growing number of designers, architects and industrial manufacturers across the world share a common interest in having new elements capable to create surfaces or coverings as creative and multifunctional solutions. LUMENTILE aims, on one side, to fill the gap between a simple construction element and a luminous surface element, and gooes far beyond, by developing a cutting-edge technologic module (the luminous electronic tile) that is capable of displaying lights, colors and images that can be used as a chameleonic display to be employed as a skin for horizontal (floor) or vertical (wall) applications. The final product will be an “on-the-fly” high energy efficient device that can be considered as a sustainable and competitive lighting element. On the other hand, the possibility of adding other sensors internally to the electronic tile enables it to increase the above mentioned properties (such as the detection of people walking onto it) and also to empower other creative or multifunction purposes. This project will address the above-mentioned challenges by exploring and developing new materials and integrated systems, manufacturing processes and business scenarios in luminous designed tiles and architecture.

CAREPATH proposes an ICT-based solution for the optimization of clinical practice in the treatment and management of multimorbid patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment or mild dementia. Such solution is targeting a more complex multimorbidity scenario and follows an integrated patient-centered approach, in order to develop a flexible and modular system to deliver a best care, adapted framework for increasing the independence and Quality of Life (QoL) of multimorbid patients with dementia. The proposed solution exploits the IONIS, C3-Cloud and imergo®-ICP healthcare platforms (whose three coordinators belong to the CAREPATH consortium) and provides a holistic environment for both healthcare providers and patients, efficiently addressing the joint multimorbidity and dementia challenges. To demonstrate and validate its results, CAREPATH will focus on combining multimorbid conditions, in different levels of complexity, and in combination with dementia. As such, CAREPATH will consider conditions such as Diabetes, Hypertension, Heart failure, Atrial Fibrillation, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Asthma, or Chronic Kidney Disease. The CAREPATH pilots will take place in four European countries (Spain, Romania, Germany and UK) with diverse health and social care systems, ICT landscape/digital maturity of healthcare provision and dementia national programs. The pilots will strengthen the evidence base on associated health outcomes and efficiency gains. CAREPATH will also elaborate on a methodology for computer interpretable clinical guidelines and computationally derived best clinical practice for the improved management of elderly multimorbid patients with dementia. It will develop Quality Key Performance Indicators for such a guideline-driven clinical practice and patient-centered integrated care delivery. In addition, the relevant health economic impacts of the solution, in terms of cost effectiveness and care provision inequalities will be assessed.

JUPITER aims at EGNSS awareness raising, capacity building and promotion activities for fostering business development of EGNSS based applications worldwide in response to the H2020 societal challenges at stake for mobility and transportation. In order to ensure that EGNSS comes to prominence in the ITS sector, the added value of EGNSS, compared to or in combination with GPS/Glonass/Beidou constellations should be clearly demonstrated and promoted. The training of application developers will be critical for them to take advantage of EGNSS and to implement GALILEO features in their applications. Once ITS service providers can demonstrate innovative EGNSS ITS applications, another key challenge is to convince public stakeholders and other actors of the transportation industry about the benefits they could derive from implementing such innovative solutions. The sharing of good practices should be fostered in order to raise awareness on how such applications might be used in practice and how commercial domino effects could be instigated from one user to another. This will allow a progressive market consolidation with a enough large critical mass for those ITS service providers who suffer today from a too strong market fragmentation. The ITS World Congress to be held in Bordeaux in 2015 represents a unique opportunity to implement demonstrations of EGNSS innovative solutions (both at signals level and at the application level) and to instigate good practices sharing among stakeholders from more than 65 countries. But it will also be necessary to capitalise on such demonstrations and associated visibility for instigating a commercial impact on the longer term. For a stronger worldwide leverage impact, training capacity will be built and workshops organised in Europe, Latin America, South East Asia, Australia, Africa and Middle East. By doing so, JUPITER intends to offer global development perspectives to the European contributors of the EGNSS ITS ecosystem.
