MM HiStory

Fairy tale tape goes digital: iHomeLab stores life stories in digital "time capsules"

"No one has as much to tell as older people who have experienced a lot. And stories, in turn, are ideally suited to integrating older people," says Andrew Paice, head of the iHomeLab at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. This is the idea behind the "HiStory" project, which aims to better integrate older people into society by telling and digitally recording their life stories. Technically, "HiStory" is a very low-threshold programme that makes it possible to record the stories, revise them and finally release them for others.

Preventing Stroke with gender specific Medicine and artificial Intelligence

In this Project we research early diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias to can prevent serious health implications such as stroke. To this end, we are investigating and developing artificial intelligence algorithms for early detection and prediction of cardiac arrhythmias from ECG measurements. The project will focus on the gender differences in arrhythmias

Recovery Fun

Rehabilitation with virtual reality and AI: the Recovery Fun project, Demo Video

The main goal of Recovery Fun is to improve rehabilitation options for people with chronic diseases. To this end, we are developing a new modular solution for proactive, integrated and personalised rehabilitation management at home, using current technological trends in virtual reality, IoT connectivity and artificial intelligence. The project team has produced a short video on the current state of development.

iHomeLab Visitor Center and Partner Network

Together with our partners from business and industry, research is conducted in various areas at the iHomeLab. The results of the research projects are presented in the iHomeLab Visitor Center and are brought closer to the public in an understandable way.

Research and services

Ambient Assisted Living Forschung

Active Assisted Living Research

The iHomeLab team is developing and testing solutions for the living and life in old age. For example, a smartphone app that helps people with mild dementia and with orientation problems. The app makes it possible for a relative to intervene supportive.

Smart Energy Management Forschung

Energy-Efficiency Research

The iHomeLab team develops systems to reduce energy consumption in buildings. For example, to show the people with a graphical illustration of the energy consumption of an apartment where the energy guzzlers are. Thereby, the power consumption can be reduced.

Safe Building Intelligence Forschung

Safe Building Intelligence

The iHomeLab team is researching how networked everyday objects improve the quality of life in health, transport, environmental protection and social interaction. Safe Building Intelligence provides the answers. We are researching the concrete effects of digitalization and how the interaction between people and systems can be designed. This shall be done in a way that conveys trust and security.

Sensortechnik

Sensor & Health Technologies

The sensor technology team researches photonic, optical and other sensor technologies and combines them with artificial intelligence to create sensor systems for the recognition and measurement of physical, chemical and biomedical features. This technology leads to greater accuracy in object recognition and material detection and allows novel applications in factory automation, personalised health, smart health solutions and digital health.

Testlabor BACnet

Test Laboratories

The iHomeLab checks building automation products for their conformity and tests whether they meet a given standard.
