Networked ‘healthcare and wellbeing’ services for people at home and on the move

NUADU addresses the technical challenges of providing networked ‘healthcare and wellbeing’ services that offer (i) improved ‘quality of life’ for consumers and (ii) more cost effective and efficient solutions for service providers.

The social imperative                                                                                                         The costs (social and financial) of healthcare are steadily increasing in the Western World. Our societies are aging and, as a consequence, the incidence of long term chronic illnesses is expected to increase. Current lifestyles of the young and younger adults are creating the potential for large scale long term chronic health problems, notably obesity, diabetes and cardio-vascular conditions. These trends put the costs and effectiveness of traditional healthcare systems in the spotlight with the emphasis on improved cost effectiveness, service effectiveness and prevention of ill-health.
