The main goal of the ELDER-SPACES
project was to introduce a radical shift
on the way social networking is delivered
to and used by older adults (typically
healthy individuals aged 55+), with a
view to stimulate seniors to join social
networks and accordingly benefit in
terms of their social activation, active
living and overall quality of life. To this
end, Elder Spaces designed a novel ICT
based social networking platform (beyond
existing networks for seniors) along
with a range of applications that will be
delivered over this platform.
ELDER-SPACES provide a range of applications
(over the project’s social networking
platform) tailored to the needs
of older user groups based on:
s Appropriate data sets, semantics and
information ;
s Customized social networking functionalities
;
s Appropriate older people friendly user
interfaces;
