Article ; In the past decade, biobanking has fuelled great scientific advances in the human medical sector. Well-established domesticated animal biobanks and integrated networks likewise harbour immense potential for great scientific advances with broad societal impacts, which are currently not being fully realised. Political and scientific leaders as well as journals and ethics committees should help to ensure that we are well equipped to meet future demands in livestock production, animal models, and veterinary care of companion animals. ; published version ; http://purl.org/eprint/status/PeerReviewed

With ageing, travel becomes more and more complex. Physical and cognitive abilities may decline, and thus, elderly people may experience several problems that hinder them from travelling independently. One of the most difficult issues when addressing the problem of age-related travel restrictions is the heterogeneity of the ageing population. SOULMATE offers a non-intrusive and personalized mobility package that evolves with the end-user across his/her different life stages to ensure him/her to make secure trips. SOULMATE aggregates three types of mobility support: Indoor virtual training of a route, active routing during trips and monitoring by a coach at a distance during trips. For each individual, the desired or necessary functionalities can be chosen, based on his/her specific abilities and travel needs. The SOULMATE solution will be developed iteratively, in co-creation with end-users and stakeholders, and the package will be tested intensively, and evaluated in three countries (Belgium, The Netherlands and Austria) based on usability, technical and business aspects. ; The SOULMATE project is co-founded by the AAL Programme of the European Union; and by the funding authorities Agentschap Innoveren en Ondernemen (Flanders, Belgium), Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (Austria) and ZonMw, the Netherlands Organization for Health Research & Development (The Netherlands). The SOULMATE consortium consists of partners from: ABEONAconsult, Eindhoven University of Technology, University of Applied Science FH JOANNEUM GmbH, Activ84Health, Roessingh Research and Development, Happy Aging, Slimmer Leven, GEFAS STEIERMARK, c.c.com Moser GmbH and FRAISS – IT Consulting & Mediendesign. The authors want to thank all partners involved in the consortium.
