Transcultural Health-Aware Guides for the Elderly

In this brief position paper, we present our vision for using software agents and related technologies to address the growing need of transcultural health-aware “Guides” for the elderly, an increasingly important topic given the clear trend of population ageing. Such autonomous intelligent guides are employed in smart living/city infrastructures to give emotional and healthcare support for the elderly wherever they are, whether at home, outdoors, or in hospital. The main purpose is to help ageing people to avoid progressive loss of physical, cognitive, and emotional activity, and most importantly to avoid social exclusion.
