- 2. 2 Abstract Two of themain current challenges faced by society are the growing urbanization and ageing of population. ICTs play a key role helping us addressing these socioeconomic problems which are paramount for our future progress. Firstly, this talk will overview the opportunities and strengths brought forward by ICT democratization in all societal sectors to make cities more age-friendly, sustainable, productive and satisfying environments. On the other hand, it will also review the weaknesses and threats associated to the increasing adoption of ICT to face these societal challenges. For instance, it will review the need to capture and process personal information to offer assistance services and ease decision making in cities, together with the threats to privacy that personal data management may cause. Several European projects facing the challenges of Sustainable and Inclusive Cities will be described in order to illustrate the high potential of this idea. Both their scientific-technological contributions and their economic potential will be overviewed, highlighting the potential of the Silver Economy – the new market opened to address the progressive societal ageing. Secondly, this talk will give further details about three core pillars to make reality this idea of more elderly-friendly ambient assisted cities, namely Internet of Things, Big Data and higher stakeholder participation and collaboration. Through use cases extracted from European projects, examples of novel personal health devices connected to Internet, new ways to correlate and process information in order to enhance decision-making and emerging approaches to make elderly people to have a higher involvement and engagement in aspects related to personal autonomy and their higher societal involvement will be provided. Finally, the talk will conclude exemplifying how Spanish administrations are addressing ageing problems through smart healthcare technologies.
- 3. 3 Context (I) • Twoof the biggest challenges faced by current society are: –continuous urbanisation process –progressive population ageing • In Spain, 70% population lives in urban centres, where 18,4% > 65 years
- 4. 4 Context (II) • Citiesare responsible for 70% world’s GDP and 80% of CO2 emissions – Cities are more efficient environments urbanisation process • Public spending associated to ageing in Europe (pensions, health systems, long life caring and learning) is about 20% of GDP • Important to conceive and adopt solutions to counter-back the social and economic effects of urbanisation and ageing in society – Solution: technology + social innovation
- 5. 5 Smarter Cities tofight back Urbanisation & Ageing processes • Smart City is a place where urban services are improved in efficiency by applying ICT, for the benefit of its inhabitants and economic development • Smart Territories innovative geographic areas, able to build their own competitive advantages taking into account their context • Smart Places balance among economic competitiveness, social cohesion, innovative creativity, democratic governance and environmental sustainability – Satisfying the basic and self-fulfilment needs in the Maslow pyramid
- 6. 6 Challenges for SmarterCities • Enable life, work and leisure environments which allow our self- fulfilment without disregarding basic needs and their development in welfare society • Answer to the urbanization demands in a economically feasible, socially inclusive and sustainable manner – BUT… apply traditional solutions to the needs of urban development unsustainable urban ecology footprint • Generate more electricity or new water resources not addressing inefficiencies in distribution
- 7. 7 ICT as leversof Smarter Cities (I) • ICTs will help in the urbanization process only if the following three premises are fulfilled: 1. Social equity 2. Economic feasibility and 3. Environmental sustainability • ICTs are key to leverage the existing infrastructure and maximize the socioeconomic throughput • A more rational and extensive usage of ICT in cities a quicker and more economic fulfilment of urban challenges
- 8. 8 • Some interestingexamples: – smart meters for water and electricity which, through technology, reduce leakage and waste and improve transparency and reliability – telehealth systems which connect hospitals with remote facilities for monitoring, diagnosis or training – smart transport solutions which help to improve efficiency and usage of air, road, train or sea transport resources – public security solutions to help preventing, detecting and answering to security requirements ICT as levers of Smarter Cities (II)
- 9. 9 ICT as leversof Smarter Cities (III): Big | Open | Personal Data • Big potential for enterprises, social entities and governments if there is a better usage of infrastructure and information (IoT + Open + Personal data) in urban environments: – Big Data: extensive analysis of heterogeneous urban data to offer answers, indicators and visualizations to help improving the decision criteria upon the challenges of cities and territory management • It will allow us to progress towards more disruptive approaches – All agents should benefit from a more efficient usage of data processing technology to give place to Urban Analytics • Great potential but huge difficulty associated!
- 10. 10 ICT as leversof Smarter Cities (IV): Open Collaboration + Social Innovation • Smarter environments cannot only be reached through technological solutions – We have to take advantage of the huge potential of collective intelligence and citizenship capacity to generate knowledge through crowdsourcing techniques (or open distributed collaboration) • Social Innovation: collaboration of citizenship through new technologies to co-create knowledge and solutions addressed to an ample range of social needs through Internet, e.g.: – Social networks for those that suffer chronic diseases – Platforms for citizen collaboration – Open data for transparency and good government linked to public expenditure
- 11. 11 ICT as leversof Smarter Cities (V): Ethical Implications • Personal data are the “new petrol” of XXI century, being exploited by big corporations such as Google, Apple (publicity + marketing) BUT … – There are multiple distributed personal data silos among different Internet providers and institutions which have to be interoperable – There is a need for individuals to have a greater control of their own personal data • Governments must: – Regulate, protect, legislate to guarantee the rights and opportunities of such data providers (we) – Legislate and manage non-functional aspects (accessibility – technological inclusion, privacy, data protection and ethics to achieve responsible technological solutions GDPR in Europe • (Open) Knowledge management is a key to undertake innovation in the public sector and achieve the implication of private agents for a more fruitful public-private partnership
- 12. 12 Personal Data • Definedas "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject")”
- 13. 13 Ageing forecast inEurope for 2060
- 14. 14 • By 2060,30% of European population will be older than 65 – Negative smaller active population share will pay taxes to support an increasing volume of elderly people – Positive older people want, can and should play a key role in society • The “Young old” (65-74 years) undertake caring activities (other elderly, children), take part in family businesses or collaborate in NGOs – Imperative to use the capabilities and knowledge of elderly people (bigger professional involvement): » Promote their desire to improve the community and social services » Put them in contact with professional associations which demand their knowledge and contacts to sustain industrial and business processes – GDP of those countries with strong family links (south of Europe), could be improved if their non-remunerated voluntary work would be taken into account • Offer to companies an opportunity to access a growing and lucrative market which has been termed as Silver Economy Smarter Cities aware of Elderly People (I)
- 15. 15 Smarter Cities awareof Elderly People (II): Silver Economy • Economic opportunities resulting from public and private expenditure (users+ consumers) associated to population ageing (> 50 years) – Imperative to promote the innovation for an active and healthy ageing, helped by a network – Needed promotion of innovation for active and healthy ageing, helped by European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) or the Active and Assistive Living program • Some examples of the market opportunities for products and services are: – Smart houses for independent living – Devices to monitor personal health – E-senior tourism – Autonomous vehicles and assistive robotics • Digital Social Innovation applied to ageing challenge, brings forward: – Improve the quality of life for elderly citizens and their carers – Promotes care systems which are more efficient and sustainable – Generates new business opportunities and economic growth
