The ultimate goal of FATE - FAll DeTector for the Elderly project is to widely validate an
innovative and efficient ICT-based solution focused on improving the elder's quality of life by
an accurate detection of falls in ageing people, both at home and outdoors.
The system is being tested and validated in 3 pilot studies involving real living scenarios, one in
each of 3 different EU countries (Spain, Italy and Ireland), in close collaboration with the
relevant public authorities. The pilot test previously selected 175 individuals with high risk of
falling.
FATE is also a care model focused on strengthening Public and Private collaboration to reach a
reliable service, paving the way across Europe for opening new market opportunities and
benefits for all stakeholders in the health and care sectors, as well as sustainable models for
the future elder generations.
