Subject:
INK & EU Health Project

 

Dear Professor Utsumi,

Just for your information, INK are already involved in one successful EU STREP project. The Description of Work is attached. Sorry I don't have an exec summary but in essence it is a health project for elderly people living independently in Bolgna. They have bio-sensors attached to them which communicate to the INK computer and via that to a central system for monitoring their health. The INK computer is also used to help build up a social support network for them. Interface devices, GUI's etc are all be designed. INK was involved, as a Canadian company, as there is no EU company producing low cost laptops of this kind, that would allow the project to be scaleable to the extent that the authorities are looking for.

No reaction from Turkey then?

Regards,



Jonathan Renaudon-Smith
