BREATHE project: privacy by design for Ambient Assisted Living

The BREATHE project (co-funded by the AAL programme) aims to design and develop an intelligent monitoring system for AAL environments, by employing cameras and other types of binary sensors. In order to ensure the privacy of user data and information, BREATHE follows a privacy-by-design approach.

Particularly, BREATHE considers privacy by context where data is acquired and transmitted depending on a number of parameters established by the identity and state of the assisted person, the carer, and the environment. The main design philosophy is to reduce not only the potential for failure by a person/organisation collecting data to adhere to best practice in safeguarding user data and information, but also the potential for security breaches of data storages.
