“ITRA- Human Sense: towards context aware sensing, inference and actuation for  application in Energy and healthcare.”

ITRA is designed to produce a large numbers of IT researchers who are well  equipped with the latest IT knowledge, educated in relating classroom knowledge to developing solutions, trained to spot problems amenable to IT solutions, motivated to identify societal problems in IT and other domains, and exposed to mechanisms for converting lab solutions to working prototypes. *Click here to download Closure Report

 


VISION

Consider a world where every human is empowered with information that helps her (and therefore eventually the whole ecosystem) in making optimal use of available resources. Such a vision can be realized using recent technology advancements, in low cost and pervasive sensing, on-device and cloud computation, and ubiquitous communication, allowing for collection of individual-specific data about her activities and the corresponding context in which these activities are performed, which can be environmental, social, economic, cultural and educational, among others. The HumanSense project proposes to monitor and adapt to individual and context specific requirements to enable systemic studies, thus paving the way for data-driven research to deliver public goods. It will build upon proven technologies and platforms, while exploiting the research and field deployment capabilities of the team, collaborators and advisory board members. Wider participation and long term sustainability will be ensured through open dissemination of collected data and project outcomes.
