Dear all,<br><br>my name is François Letellier. Please find my bio below:<br><br>I am a freelance consultant on open innovation and open-source software. I help innovative entrepreneurs and start-ups pursue open innovation strategies, secure funding and operate successful business models. I also acts as an expert for innovation support institutions, deliver higher education lectures and am strongly involved in communities related to open IT innovation. I spent four years with INRIA, the French National Research Center in Computer Science and Automation, as marcom director and executive director of ObjectWeb. Previously I co-founded a software engineering business where I served five years and worked for global corporations like France Telecom and Michelin. I have a master degree in computer science and 20 years of experience.<br>

<br>
My name is Vicenç Soler and I work in the group GBIO of the Center CIBER-BBN (Bioenginnering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine), located at the School of Engineering of the Universitat Autonoma of Barcelona (UAB), Spain. I also work as associated teacher at the Dept. of Microelectronics and Electronic Systems of UAB. Our workgroup has three arms: two of them located at both centers mentioned above, and the third arm is at National Center of Microelectronics (CNM) of CSIC (our spanish research council).<br>
<br>
Summarizing, our main experience is located in the following fields:<br>
<br>
- Design, development and manufacture of bio-sensors based on ad-hoc micro and nano technologies. Usually we develop projects in the HEALTH and ICT areas, and an example of an EU project nearer to the field of AAL is CHRONIC, that consists in monitoring bio-signals of patients at their home. We also were involved in PERSONA project.<br>
<br>
- Develop specific Machine Learning algorithms (Soft Computing) that analyze the data coming from the sensors in order to determine diseases on-time.<br>
<br>
- Develop hardware and software designed to improve the quality of life of elderly and blind people (haptic applications, mobile applications, etc.). An example is the current NOMS project (EU project), which tries to build a visual-aid tablet for visually impaired people which may be attached to computers, I-Pods, mobile phones, etc. The device will utilise novel developments in optically-actuated nano-composite materials.<br>
