The research outcomes of the AmICriM project will show also future directions in the area of body-area networks and communications, as well as its applications to novel approaches in which firemen would receive critical and valuable information when acting in real situations of crisis, as in case of fire in a building. This work will boost development of new technologies and solutions that will be used in the future for networking embodied intelligent devices. Moreover, the AmICriM developed technologies will be evaluated through a real service for assisting firemen in crisis situations
