ELDERHOP: Solution assisting the shop hopping of elderly


Description

ELDERHOP is creating a solution which
runs on existing and future open source
mobile and IP connected TV platforms.
ELDERHOP wants to provide a complex
easy-to use solution to improve the quality
of life of elderly people. The objective
is to develop, test, and make available a
suite of open-source mobile and TV applications,
which supports people above
65 in their important daily activities like
shopping, using public transport, etc.
The envisioned end product will facilitate
the outdoors activity and navigation capabilities
of the elderly, while decreasing
their anxiety and stress levels. Our goal
is to launch the service at the end of
the project, and reach 2% of the target
population within 24 months after finishing
the project.
The solution will be available from app
stores, and it will increase the sense of
security, comfort, and self-esteem of
elderly people through providing them
easy-to use technologies. Further expected
benefits include the increased
digital inclusion of the elderly through
user-friendly interfaces adapted to their
needs, and the assistance provided to
the elderly in the search for special
deals and discounts (helping them to
save money).
