Description:

The overall objective is to improve well-being, promote active and healthy ageing, independent living, and reduce the risk of social exclusion of older adults in Europe and Japan. The consortium will develop an innovative ICT-based virtual coaching system to detect subtle changes in physical, cognitive, psychological and social domains of older adult's daily life. The e-VITA virtual coach will thus provide personalized recommendations and support through natural interactions with 3D-holograms, emotional objects, or robotic technologies.
