HERMES: Pervasive Computing and Cognitive Training for Ageing Well

HERMES aims at alleviating the elderly decline in both declarative and prospective memory, based on a set of ambient daily support and cognitive training applications. Its applications comprise memory aids and cognitive training games, both of which are presented in the paper. The paper introduces also the motivation of the HERMES project and applications. In addition it provides an overview of technical aspects in the areas of the project implementation in the areas of pervasive computing, as well as surface computing towards the utmost natural interactivity of seniors with computing devices.
