資訊II學門研究成果成功案例

【研究團隊介紹】iCare研究團隊

「iCare社群化智慧型居家照護計畫」係由臺大資訊工程系暨網路與多媒體研究所許永真副教授所推動組成的跨領域研究團隊。結合管理、資訊、電機、心理、醫護、職能治療等專業人才，iCare團隊致力於研發可融入人們居家生活之人性化數位科技。希望藉由人與智慧型物件或環境之互動，激發更安全健康、便利舒適、知性上進的生活模式。

近三年的努力，iCare跨領域研究團隊於多元無線感測網路、室內定位、行為辨識等技術已累積多項國際頂尖的研究成果，並成功的設計開發出獨具創意的智慧餐桌、健康趣味餐盤、導盲柺杖、與智慧輪椅等用具。今年，我們將開發「次世代數位生活服務科技」，進一步拓展團隊優異的研究成果。有關iCare研究團隊的詳細資料，請參考http://mll.csie.ntu.edu.tw/icare/網站。

The iCare research initiative is about embracing and embedding digital technology into our physical living to enhance our everyday experiences at home. Specifically, the iCare research seeks to create intelligent digital technology that can engage and excite people into active participation of desirable physical and mental activities at home that are considered healthy, creative, productive, educational, enjoyable, etc. Our goal is to develop digital technology that empowers people, not just supports smart environments. A current research focus is in applying digital technology for healthcare and self-care at home.

The iCare research initiative is an interdisciplinary research effort. Our original team members come from mostly computing background, but have since been extended to cover diverse background in electrical engineering, computer science, information management, occupational therapy, psychology, medicine, and nursing, enabling us to tackle the research challenge of digital living from technical, design, and human aspects.
