Project: Study on personalised toilets supporting active living in (semi-) public environments

Acronym Toilet4me (Reference Number: aal-2018-5-101-SCP)
Duration 01/11/2019 - 01/05/2020
Project Topic Toilet4me is based on the findings of the successful AAL project iToilet which aimed to provide ICT enhanced motorised toilets, able to adapt themselves to the individual needs and preferences of the older person using the toilet. The main idea of Toilet4me is simple but challenging: As iToilet already demonstrated the benefits for supporting persons during toilet use at home, we now want to proceed and explore a totally new way of offering this type of supportive toilet in places outside the own home. Offering the support in places which older persons frequently visit or would like to visit (currently unable to do due to lack of suitable toilet facilities) will allow people to participate in society more, which will contribute to their independence and quality of life. With a service which allows the user to always “take his/her own preference settings with him/her in the pocket”, a lot of new possibilities can be offered to several user groups. Toilet4me together with end users will elaborate the requirements for such service.
