Abstract
The "FutureHealth" Smart Space research facility described here provides a laboratory facility for investigating new models of health care in out-of-hospital settings, relying on use of new ICT technologies and leading to better understanding of health care environments. It provides an instrumented, configurable space for simulating, modelling, observing and measuring health care activities. This will permit rapid development and improvement of new health care processes, allow benchmarking and evaluation of alternatives, facilitate and promote collaboration between technology and health experts, and assure ongoing support of related research via e-Research mechanisms.
