UbiLab is currently working on a study to understand what Active/Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) or IoT for Healthcare technology companies are using as policy guidelines and standards in the creation of their products and services. Ultimately, this study will highlight the gap between what is currently available for innovators in terms of data security, privacy and encryption, and what should be developed to ensure that AAL technology is designed ensuring benefits to patients and the healthcare system through safe technologies.
The long-term goal of this project is the development of requirements for a framework and infrastructure to enable IoT, mHealth, and wearable data integration, focusing on describing the design, data exchange requirements, policy and governance guidelines, and general standards for overall implementing a data infrastructure within Canada. The ultimate goal is to use data currently collected by smarthome technologies to enable population-level surveillance and remote patient monitoring.
