ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an overview of the new pilots in three sectors: agriculture, energy and healthcare. Digital technologies like IoT and big data analytics will be central to the new pilot projects in order to break down silos between different sectors like living, mobility, smart city and utilities to achieve cross-sector optimization in terms of resource-efficiency and sustainability. PHARAON will be built upon mature existing state-of-the-art open platforms and technologies/tools provided by the partners, which will be customised and will implement cloud technologies, AI techniques and traditional algorithms for big data intelligent analytics. PHARAON will evolve based on the user feedback and the results from a MAFEIP framework that will be implemented for impact assessment. SHAPES aims to create the first European open Ecosystem enabling the large-scale deployment of a broad range of digital solutions for supporting and extending healthy and independent living for older individuals who are facing permanently or temporarily reduced functionality and capabilities.
