INTESA: An Integrated ICT Solution for Promoting Wellbeing in Older People

As populations become increasingly aged, it is more important than ever to promote “Active Ageing” life styles among older people. Age-related frailty can influence an individual’s physiological state making him more vulnerable and prone to dependency or reduced life expectancy. These health issues contribute to an increased demand for medical and social care, thus economic costs. In this context, the INTESA project aims at developing a holistic solution for older adults, able to prolong their functional and cognitive capacity by empowering, stimulating, and unobtrusively monitoring the daily activities according to well-defined “Active Ageing” life-style protocols.
