“…Future work thus includes a longitudinal validation with cognitively impaired and non-impaired people as to ascertain the extent to which the tool is usable, especially in those cases with severe cognitive disorders. Our longterm research will also aim to integrate the proposed tool into innovative e-coaching solutions (Banos and Nugent 2018;op den Akker et al 2018) as to facilitate not only the autonomous tracking but also the intervention of cognitive impairments.…”

As the population ages, cognitive decline is becoming a worldwide threat to older adults' independence and quality of life.Cognitive decline involves problems with memory, language, thinking and judgement, thus severely compromising multiple aspects of people's everyday life. Diagnosis of cognitive disorders is currently performed through clinical questionnairebased assessments, which are typically conducted by medical experts once symptoms appear. Digital technologies can help providing more immediate, pervasive and seamless assessment, which could, in turn, allow for much earlier diagnosis of cognitive disorders and decline. In this work, we present MobileCogniTracker, a digital tool for facilitating momentary, seamless and ubiquitous clinically-validated cognitive measurements. The proposed tool develops digital cognitive tests in the form of multimedia experience sampling questionnaires, which can run on a smartphone and can be scheduled and assessed remotely. The tool further integrates the digital cognitive experience sampling with passive smartphone sensor data streams that may be used to study the interplay of cognition and physical, social and emotional behaviours. The Mini-Mental State Examination test, a clinical questionnaire extensively used to measure cognitive disorders, has been particularly implemented here to showcase the possibilities offered by our tool. A usability test showed the tool to be usable for performing digital cognitive examinations, and that cognitively unimpaired persons in the relevant age-group are capable of performing such digital examination. A qualitative expert-driven validation also shows a high inter-reliability between the digital and pencil-and-paper version of the test.

Council of Coaches 4 (COUCH) is a project funded under the European Union's Horizon-2020 programme, 5 which aims to develop a virtual council that can assist users with life-changing diagnoses in achieving their health goals [41]. In doing so, it aims to answer the research question: How can we create a behaviour change support tool that takes into account the multi-dimensional issues of age-related impairments in a way that is fun and engaging in the long term?…”

As the average age of the population increases, so too do the number of people living with chronic illnesses. With limited resources available, the development of dialogue-based e-health systems that provide justified general health advice offers a cost-effective solution to the management of chronic conditions. It is however imperative that such systems are responsible in their approach. We present in this paper two main challenges for the deployment of e-health systems, that have a particular relevance to dialogue and argumentation: collecting and handling health data, and trust. For both challenges, we look at specific issues therein, outlining their importance in general, and describing their relevance to dialogue and argumentation. Finally, we go on to propose six recommendations for handling these issues, towards addressing the main challenges themselves, that act both as general advice for dialogue and argumentation research in the e-health domain, and as a foundation for future work on this topic.

“…It is assuring data security by separation of data generated by the same "thing" for different users on different time intervals. To take full advantage of the IoT system, the event and analytics module ensures the possibility to define, manage, and use events and basic analytics by integration of the well-known Grafana engine 7 .…”

In the context of the fourth revolution in healthcare technologies, leveraging monitoring and personalization across different domains becomes a key factor for providing useful services to maintain and promote well-being. This is even more crucial for older people, with aging being a complex multi-dimensional and multi-factorial process which can lead to frailty. The NESTORE project was recently funded by the EU Commission with the aim of supporting healthy older people to sustain their well-being and capacity to live independently. It is based on a multi-dimensional model of the healthy aging process that covers physical activity, nutrition, cognition, and social activity. NESTORE is based on the paradigm of the human-in-the-loop cyber-physical system that, exploiting the availability of Internet of Things technologies combined with analytics in the cloud, provides a virtual coaching system to support healthy aging. This work describes the design of the NESTORE methodology and its IoT architecture. We first model the end-user under several domains, then we present the NESTORE system that, analyzing relevant key-markers, provides coaching activities and personalized feedback to the user. Finally, we describe the validation strategy to assess the effectiveness of NESTORE as a coaching platform for healthy aging.
