E-Health, Healthy living and ageing

This activity contributes to the several societal changes, icnluding:
Improved evidence-based policy making by ensuring sensor data reliability.
Environmental awareness as a motor for environmental behaviour change by making air quality measurements affordable to a larger community.
At a large scale, healthier living in cities by improving the common awareness of the air quality of cities and possible mitigation actions.
More sustainable industrial activity by improving the knowledge about generated pollution and odour nuisances.
Improved data availability for scientific models, early warning and forecasting by ensuring larger availability with lower cost systems, with sufficient data quality and accuracy.
The possibility to enforce effective compliance regarding odorous emissions with improved, cost-effective methods.

For society, AI standardisation promises to improve quality, safety, and equity in healthcare. It will foster public trust through compliance with ethical and privacy principles aligned with European values such as transparency. These improvements can translate into more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatments, benefiting patients and professionals.

Accelerating the use of digital twins, as the existence of the semantic repository allows the digital twin to manage semantics while the physical twin is managing data. This methodology will ensure a consistent continuum between the physical twin and the digital twin.

The following impacts are identified at a general level:
The Internet of Things (IoT) addresses many societal challenges including climate change, resource and energy efficiency and ageing.
In the emerging IoT economy, voluntary global standards can accelerate adoption, drive competition, and enable cost-effective introduction of new technologies.
Standardisation facilitates the interoperability, compatibility, reliability, security and efficiency of operations on a global scale among different technical solutions, stimulating industry innovation and providing greater clarity to technology evolution.
Interoperability between IoT networks operated by different companies along the value chain opens up opportunities to address EU Policy objectives, e.g. greater resource efficiency for a more circular economy, sustainable and responsible supply chains through transparency and traceability, and others
