“…The doctor can then use this information to assess his or her psychological wellbeing with the goal of planning interventions or adjust therapies. The same approach is proposed for Alzheimer's interventions [110] and for other services to asses cognitive state of elders [81,82] in order to support prevention services. Playing games within these applications have also an additional positive impact on the elder's psychological factors.…”

Active Ageing (AA) aims to foster a physically, mentally and socially active lifestyle as a person ages. It is a complex, multi-faceted problem that involves a variety of different actors, such as policy makers, doctors, care givers, family members, friends and, of course, older adults. This survey aims to understand the role of a new actor, which increasingly plays the role of enabler and facilitator, i.e., that of the technology provider. The survey specifically focuses on Information Technology (IT), with a particular emphasis on software applications, and on how IT can prevent decline, compensate for lost capabilities, aid care, and enhance existing capabilities. The analysis confirms the crucial role of IT in AA, shows that AA requires a multidisciplinary approach, and identifies the need for better integration of hardware, software, the environment and the involved actors.

“…If available, the usage of high-density visual information, such as big pictures or videos of related persons or bygone days is identified as well [5] [6]. Other examples of solutions proposed include cognitive games to decelerate the course of the disease [18], affective virtual agents (computer characters that recognize sentiment and communicate using gestures or voice output) to recognize the mood of the PwD [19], reminiscence therapy with photo and video sharing across networks [20] and music therapy to stimulate creativity [21].…”
