Centre for Information and Communication Technology

Centre for Information and Communication Technology at the Danish Technological Institute is engaged in several R&D projects within the following areas:

• Embedded systems development (HW/SW co-design), and model/software architechture for intelligent systems design

• Wireless technologies, communication infrastrucures and sensor-networks

• Ambient intelligence and pervasive computing• Intelligent multimedia and• Interaction design and usability• Health IT and Ambient Assisted Living• Green ICT• Innovation and project management

Example of a project :Ambient Assisted Living and Urban Computing

The MaXi Project – a Living Lab for ICT innovation

The project is about the development of ICT for citizens with diabetis. It actively involves users with this chronical challenge in an urban setting in a ’Living Lab’ in Skagen

The project is conducted in collaboration with the University of Aalborg, The municipality of Skagen, and Nokia Finland as technology provider

The project is based on a user-driven and ’open innovation’ model with the focus on developing both devices, services and concepts for ambient assisted living

The project is supported by the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority

Project Idea: CrowdSensing Allergy

In Denmark about 1.5 mill (33%) of the population are suffering from chronical diseases such as allergies, diabetes etc. (www.kroniker.dk)

IDEA : How can we assist citizens with allergies in an urban setting?

Assumption: Everybody has mobile phones to assist with location, travelling speed, age, info from facebook, GSR, GPS etc

Combined with f.ex chemical sensors, location bases services, mircoblogs and a personal allergy profile this may be a good basis for research and innovation

Combined and designed the right way, this may answer questions like …• I have pollen allergy, is there more pollen over in that end of town?• I have food allergy, where can I find grocery shops with service and

information related to my situation

Hence, make invisible and inaccessible info-structures visible
