[aaloa supporters] New members

[Brian O'Mullane]

Hi All,

A quick introduction to myself / CASALA.

We are a research group based in Dundalk, about an hour north of Dublin in Ireland. CASALA is the technical arm of Netwell a centre set up to enhance the quality of life of older people using new ideas.
The facilities we have here includes a purpose build 16 home AAL development, as well as a home in laboratory and a CAVE virtual environment, All these facilities are aimed at looking at new ideas in AAL. And I'm happy to discuss further with anyone who is interested.

I am the senior research engineer at CASALA, and as well as AAL behaviour analysis I am interested in looking at an AAL software platform that can address our needs in our existing 16 homes and the larger community as we start to roll out our ideas.

Cheers,
Brian
