The 2011 activities have resulted in the set-up of two activities Stress@Work and Stress@Home based on the 2011 focus, that have the potential to achieve new business creation in 2012. Next to that, and based on the results of the 2011 activities, the scope of the Thematic Action Line will be expanded into all spearhead areas of the Healthy Life application domain.

The work of the action line has resulted in the development of new services in the area of stress monitoring (by e.g. a hand wrist watch) and analysis services, ambient assisted living services tak- ing care of increasing safety and stimulating physical activity of elderly people, exploration of testing methods for integrated ser- vices, and the organisation of a Summer School on Health and Wellbeing.
