Safety and Comfort
Fall sensors and a mobile safety watch grant fast and reliable help. In addition, intelligent light and device control increases the well-being at home.
gAALaxy is an international research and development project. The aim is to merge stand-alone solutions that support older adults in their core areas of life. The holistic approach combines home automation systems with AAL products on a gAALaxy middleware.
Fall sensors and a mobile safety watch grant fast and reliable help. In addition, intelligent light and device control increases the well-being at home.
Increase your freedom and independence. Thanks to the mobile safety watch you can be mobile and still feel safe. Help is just one click away!
Your relatives can be informed as soon as something is wrong. They can be at ease because they know you are ok.
The idea behind gAALaxy is to create a platform that allows users to easily integrate AAL and IoT solutions based on the needs of the individual users. For this, we are constantly screening the market and collect information about existing solutions. You can browse through the product catalogue by clicking on the button below:
The first gAALaxy solution bundle focuses on the safety needs of the target group. It includes:
The fearless system identifies falls with the help of a 3D infrared sensor and activates an emergency chain.
A mobile safety watch for indoor and outdoor use. It integrates an emergeny alerting system, localization in emergency situations and an automized call function to provide fast help.
Sensors that regulate lighting and identify movements, smoke detectors and smart light switches can be adapted to the individual needs and increase security and comfort at home.
A piece of furniture to enable an ambient integration of the system in the living environment.

The gAALaxy solution bundle is tested in three pilot regions in Europe with persons over 60 who are living in their private homes.
The Austrian Red Cross – Freiwillige Rettung Innsbruck leads the pilot region North Tyrol in Austria. 70 older adults in the city of Innsbruck and surrounding areas test the gAALaxy bundle in their own homes.
The test region flanders is led by SF1 and Fifthplay. 60 older adults are testing the gAALaxy solution bundle in the surroundings of Antwerp and Ghent.
Eurac research together with rehab clinic Villa Melitta leads the pilot region South Tyrol in Italy. 20 older adults, living in the city of Bolzano and surrounding areas, test the gAALaxy solution bundle there.

The aim of the gAALaxy project is to test and evaluate the gAALaxy solution bundles and the middleware under real-world conditions. The test will be realized during two pilot phases with a total duration of twelve months.
The gAALaxy pilot phases apply a multi-level evaluation concept using a mixed-methods approach of inquiry. Evaluation dimensions are:
General functionality, interoperability and usability of gAALaxy
Potential impact of the gAALaxy bundle on end users’ quality of life
End-users’ learning attitudes, technology relations and expectations
Actual users’ interactions with the system
