Longinos/Longinas: Towards Smart, Unified Working and Living Environments for the 70 to 90+

The ageing of the human population is a threat to many countries in the world and this fact creates new challenges for age-friendly living, recreational and working environments. Therefore, solutions that can support senior citizens (Longinos for the men and Longinas for the women) will be necessary, in order to help them stay actively involved in their professional life for longer. This is possible by designing fit for purpose working environments and by enabling flexible management of job-, leisure- and health-related activities, considering their needs at the workplace, at home and on the move, with a particular focus on fighting social isolation. This project presents a robotic digital solution that makes provision for Longinos/Longinas persons, that are above 70 years old, a single view of integrated health, business and social data spread respectively in online health communities, online project management websites and social networks, as well as the provision of a set of services, that will allow them to manage huge amounts of data.
