Minimising the inappropriate and unnecessary hospital admissions of frail older people. The health system will continue to experience massive pressures in both fiscal and human resource terms. Older patients present with multiple, complex conditions and tend to be admitted because clinicians often do not have the time to explore other options.

The health system will continue to experience massive pressures in both fiscal and human resource terms. Older patients present with multiple, complex conditions and tend to be admitted because clinicians often do not have the time to explore other options. This project will develop and evaluate a unique and robust model for minimising inappropriate hospital admissions through rapid assessment of suitability for home care and complete referral information for safety and quality.

This addresses people's concerns about privacy and overcomes a critical barrier for progress in the development of pervasive computing. This provides national benefit in the following ways:
we will build software infrastructure that will have commercial and
strategic value; we will build a set of demonstrator applications
that address the national priority areas of smart information use, and promoting and maintaining good health; and we will enhance knowledge of the complementary fields of user modelling, context aware computing and personal privacy management.
