“…The traditional data transmission limitations of bandwidth, delay, and energy pose much smaller and more surmountable obstacles [18]. This demands urgent innovations capable of breaking through the reluctance of the elderly to accept and use new technologies, both stationary products used at home and wearable devices (wearables) for when on the move [19], and finding workarounds to constraints in the form of additional cost, inconveniences, social constraints, or privacy issues by utilizing existing standard equipment, such as in the analysis of wi-Fi signal equivalents for the movement of people [20] or even smart TV usage [21]. Passive technologies working in the background, such as the analysis of sound patterns in rooms [22], radio frequency identification (rFID) [23], floor vibration detectors [24], thermal and air quality sensors [25,26], are to be preferred to active monitoring, like video surveillance, which are often considered too intrusive [20].…”

The populations of all European countries are ageing at an increasing age, especially in rural areas, where the process overlaps with emigration to urban areas, which additionally depletes the elderly residents of social support while the ability to perform everyday activities becomes progressively limited with age. A literature review was been carried out in order to identify the characteristics of modern technology-based tools for providing care and healthcare to community-dwelling people sixty years old and older. Home-based care is preferred over institutional care, including in nursing homes, by about 90% of the elderly. Home-based care, diagnostics, and monitoring limit the financial and organizational pressure on the healthcare system. care and rehabilitation procedures are carried out under the direct supervision of specialized medical staff at respective offices or centers while they can be evaluated and supervised remotely, without the need for scarce medical staff to be constantly present with the patient, and without the requirement for the patient to be transported back and forth. The problem of providing care and healthcare to the increasing number of disabled elderly within the constraints of the available budget and with scarce qualified staff can be resolved only through the broad application of solutions based on information technology (IT), which benefit from the dynamic growth of the Internet-of-Things, including the Internet-of-Medical-Things (IoMT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This will allow longer home-based care, which is not only preferred by the elderly to institutionalized care or hospitalization, but is also the cheapest of available solutions.

Despite the technology advances in the field of virtual assistant and activity monitoring devices, older adults are still reluctant to embrace this technology, specially when it comes to employ it to manage health-related issues. This paper presents a work in progress for a virtual caregiver, based on the Internet of Thing paradigm, that employs different technological solutions for information gathering and intervention delivery. The ultimate goal of this virtual caregiver is to support people empowerment to actively contribute to frailty and multimorbidity management and risk mitigation. To this end, user acceptance and willingness to use the propose solution has to be ensured. This work in progress starts with the hypothesis that by embedding the proposed technology in a smart mirror device will improve user acceptance and willingness to use. This paper presents the vision and overall architecture and future work will address the evaluation of user acceptance and the use intention.

“…This can be accompanied by introducing technology that is friendly to the final user and gets closer to the experience of human interaction. The introduction of language processing mechanisms, for example, may be very well received as part of a digital ecosystem for older adults [ 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

The population in the world is aging dramatically, and therefore, the economic and social effort required to maintain the quality of life is being increased. Assistive technologies are progressively expanding and present great opportunities; however, given the sensitivity of health issues and the vulnerability of older adults, some considerations need to be considered. This paper presents DigiHEALTH, a suite of digital solutions for long-term healthy and active aging. It is the result of a fruitful trajectory of research in healthy aging where we have understood stakeholders’ needs, defined the main suite properties (that would allow scalability and interoperability with health services), and codesigned a set of digital solutions by applying a continuous reflexive cycle. At the current stage of development, the digital suite presents eight digital solutions to carry out the following: (a) minimize digital barriers for older adults (authentication system based on face recognition and digital voice assistant), (b) facilitate active and healthy living (well-being assessment module, recommendation system, and personalized nutritional system), and (c) mitigate specific impairments (heart failure decompensation, mobility assessment and correction, and orofacial gesture trainer). The suite is available online and it includes specific details in terms of technology readiness level and specific conditions for usage and acquisition. This live website will be continually updated and enriched with more digital solutions and further experiences of collaboration.
