The main goal of the proposed project
was the development of an ICT-based
Virtual Collaborative Social Living Community
for Elderly (CO-LIVING) people.
CO-LIVING was based on an innovative
Social Community network (SoCo-net),
integrating different mobile wireless ICT
based services addressing the elderly
social interaction context categories of
Care & Wellness, Guidance and Mobility
monitoring. The solution used and
scaled up the successfully developed
IST FP6 mPower open source middleware
platform to be applicable to the
older adults social community interaction
field achieving thus the expected
CO-LIVING time-to-market perspective
of 2 to 3 years after the project end.
CO-LIVING target group was the big
group of healthy elderly or with light
physical or psychological health problems
who are self-supporting, able to
move around, and can still contribute
actively. They find pleasure in getting
help or stimulation to be active in an
outward environment. The aim of
choosing the specific target group was
to prevent, or reduce the risk, that these
people are spending most of their time
at home as they get older for a variety
of accumulated (physical, psychological,
psycho-social and cultural) reasons.
