Smartmozionage & activage project

SmartMozionAge project has won a 1st ACTIVAGE Open Call. ACTIVAGE is a European Multi Centric Large Scale Pilot on Smart Living Environments for Ageing Well. The main project objective is to build the first European IoT system across 9 Deployment Sites (DS) in seven European countries, reusing and scaling up Active & Healthy Ageing IoT based solutions and services, supporting and extending the independent living of older adults in their living environments and responding to real needs of caregivers, service providers and public authorities. Learn more about the ACTIVAGE project and the 1st Open Call.

Deployment Site Valencia, spain

Valencia Population of 65 years and over is 159.337 people, representing 20% of total
city population, of which 60% are women, 26% live alone (of which 77,5% are women).
60% live with other elderly over 64. Valencia Deployment Site use cases aim to
demonstrate how IoT solutions can make easier, safer and helpful the environment for
elderly people and give peace of mind to their caregivers.

Deployment Site Province of Parma, Italy

The Deployment Site in Emilia Romagna is located in the Province of Parma
corresponding to the area where the Local Authority of Parma provides its healthcare
services. The deployment site is especially focused to deliver better outcomes for persons recovering from a stroke event and still suffering from stroke after-effects, who can live at home by maximizing the value of technologies that enable better communication between the user and the caregivers.

Older women over 65: even small amounts of exercise on a daily basis can reduce risks of being admitted at a health facility

Walking After A Stroke

Learning how to walk again after a stroke is a long, arduous process. But with commitment and consistency it is possible to recover fully.

Using technology for tracking older people's activity can be a very useful practice

Technology is changing the world we live in, and healthcare is no exception to this reality. The use of something as simple as a wrist medical device has been proven to positively impact the health of elderly individuals.

Application

SmartMozionAge is a project that currently works with two deployment sites and implements mobile application by applying various tactics to persuade and encourage seniors to walk. It includes personal progress statistics; short information about benefits of walking; real-time information related to available route events, how other users of the same age or family members are doing; where to walk depending on current preferences; engaging users to explore the city and share their findings with others as co-creation.
