Central to the proposed idea is the combination and integration of home-based ICT and social networks, connecting the elderly person living at home with their families, friends and carers, on various levels. The project will provide the technological means to exploit the power of social networks and the eneficial effect of social inclusion and activities on cognitive and mental processes. Detecting subjective states and activities of the elderly and communicating them to caring persons also allows for a much better-tailored and timely response, attention and care, at the same time reducing feelings of loneliness and insecurity. The aim is to prevent, delay and help manage chronic conditions such as mild cognitive impairment and dementia (and potentially pathological social isolation), by gentle, consistent social and cognitive stimulation and timely response to detected states, situations or activities, so as to improve and maintain the well-being and independence of the elderly living in their own homes and reduce healthcare costs. | AGNES | ? | ICT platform, Unobstrusive monitoring, social network, | smart Platform | Mateja Erce mateja.erce@innorenew.eu | 2009-2014 - wellness + active social participation (addressing loneliness, mental deterioration, social participtaion) -> secure social network for OA -> 'modern families' network + PC and android-based tablet - Stimulation for elderly with chronic conditions (e.g., mild cognitive impairment) -> tangible/ambient interaction around OA's skills - Solutions that target needs of older adults – (in)formal caregivers and/or family have access to older adults’ current condition, keeping contact at a distance -> ambient displays located at OA's home - 2 versions: with curtain and bulb-shaped multicolour lamp with added sound.

65 | 63 | A Novel IoV Enabled Efficient Wearable Healthcare Framework for Elderly Patients based on AI and Edge Computing | https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8938178 | However, cloud computing is not the potential candidate to minimize the delay for emergency healthcare applications with fair resource allocation. Thus, an edge computing is adopted by pushing the computation at the edge of the network for sharing the load and fairly managing, monitoring and optimize the resources for instance, transmission power, reliability, battery lifetime etc. This research aims to bridge the gap between edge computing, IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for achieving the pervasive elderly healthcare system. Moreover, effective and accurate sensor data contents are derived from IoT-based wearable devices with the support of intelligent AI-enabled techniques. Thus, this work adopts AI for IoT-based wearable devices at the edge of healthcare platform. One of the key challenges to traditional edge devices is their less and inefficient processing, and computational capability, hence, a novel AI-enabled self-adaptive and intelligent offloading technique for optimizing the performance of IoT-based wearable devices is important to be developed. There shall be three main objectives of this proposal, first to develop the prototype of IoT-enabled Internet of Healthcare Vehicles (IoHVs) i.e., ambulances by adopting innovative and latest technologies such as, sensors, connectors, actuators etc to achieve smart and pervasive healthcare system for elderly patients. Second, to develop an AI-enabled joint power-efficient, battery-aware and reliable (AI-PBR) method and framework while transmitting multimedia (i.e., text, audio, video etc) contents in IoHVs. Third, to propose the multimedia content optimization tool in terms of received signal strength indicator (RSSI), outage probability, and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) for analyzing the performance of entire elderly healthcare system, then open-source that tool to other hospitals and medical centers. | Prototype: IoT-driven Internet of Healthcare Vehicle (IoHV) or ambulance for elderly patients | IoT, IoHV | Ali Hassan Sodhro, Linkoping University, Sweden | Agnieszka Landowska nailie@pg.edu.pl | Couldn't find it.

In the years ahead, the Norwegian population will age and older people will have longer lifespans. At the same time, the older people of the future will live for more healthy and active years, and will want to engage in and contribute more to society and working life. Social attitudes as well as the very shaping of societies lead many older people to feel excluded from society and working life. To date, we have failed to build societal structures that adequately exploit the opportunities provided by a growing population of older people. Facilitating active ageing as part of a modern policy on ageing, is about both improving the quality of life, of individuals and achieving more sustainable development of society. The vision for the strategy is that all Norwegians must be able to lead long and meaningful lives, and experience active and healthy ageing. It is the Government’s goal to make society more age-friendly, and to better harness on the resources offered by older people in terms of participation and contribution. We will update rules, counteract negative attitudes, reduce age discrimination, adopt new technology and provide better facilitation for activity and participation. Including older people in working life in particular will help secure future welfare, as part of the transformation Norway is facing. Activity is also an investment in health. A society that makes it possible for older people to be active for more years stimulates self-reliance, quality of life and opportunities.

88 | 86 | Finish elderly housing models trends: Aging in Place | https://www.infofinland.fi/en/living-in-finland/family/elderly | Aging in Place: It is the duty of municipalities to organize service housing and support housing for those who need it. Municipalities organize home care (kotihoito) for the elderly, which entails day-to-day assistance and nursing at home. Home care encompasses home services, home nursing and support services. Home services are help with day-to-day activities, such as washing and dressing oneself and eating. Home nursing is nursing and rehabilitation that takes place at home. A doctor writes a referral for home nursing. In addition to this, support services are available, which include meal, cleaning, shopping, security and transport services. Municipal home care is subject to a fee. When the home care is regular, the income and that of the spouse affect the cost of the home care. Temporary home care costs the same for everyone. The municipality may also provide with a service voucher that can be used to purchase services from a service provider approved by the municipality. When a family member needs help continuously and his/her care is binding and demanding, it is possible to get allowance for informal care (omaishoidontuki) for it. In addition to the remuneration, municipalities can organize various services in order to support informal care. Municipalities also arrange daytime activities (päivätoiminta) for the elderly. Daytime activities include transport, a meal, and exercise, for example. Alteration work at home can be done to make living there easier . | Aging in Pace in Finland | Housing policies | Fernando Nieto, Rosana Rubio (SPREAD, Tampere University) and Sergio Martín Blas (NuTAC, Polytechnic University of Madrid) | Willeke van Staalduinen, willeke@afedemy.eu | The solution is the explanation of municipal policies in Finland to enable people to age in place.

Its development has been increasing in the last decade. There are no common criteria for the design of the dwellings or the common facilities. The number of common-use areas in senior houses caries largely, because the cost-effectiveness. Some senior houses have just one common area called a library or a club room. The highest quality senior houses may have a restaurant, a fitness room, a physical therapy area, or other amenities and services. Senior housing market is still in its infancy and the market is dominated by few housing investors. Some of senior houses are located next to assisted living units. Typologies: -Apartment buildings: age restriction without any special services. -Apartment buildings with services: the services are not included in the rent. Services can be available in an assisted living unit next or there are private services operators available. The building does not differ technically from conventional apartments. -Apartment with specific services: different services available for residents depending on their individual needs. -Cohousing: Community for people who want to live in a communal neighborhood without sacrificing the privacy or integrity of individual families and their dwellings. Emphasis is placed upon the promotion of active lifestyles and the prevention of loneliness through communal living. The idea of cohousing in Finland has been relatively recent with the recognition of their potentiality only starting to emerge at the beginning of the 21st century. This kind of model is mainly urban in Finland. | Senior houses for independent living | Aging in Pace in Finland | Housing | Fernando Nieto, Rosana Rubio (SPREAD, Tampere University) and Sergio Martín Blas (NuTAC, Polytechnic University of Madrid) | C.Valderrama carlos.valderrama@umons.ac.be | Study of the senior housing market in Finland: living at home and loneliness matters and housing alternatives for senior houses (independent living facilities) in Finland.

90 | 88 | paper: Housing Concepts For and By the Elderly: From Subjects of Design to a Design Resource | https://doi.org/10.1080/02763893.2016.1224792 | The perception of elderly residents as a homogeneous group is challenged by the diversification of lifestyles and emphasis on individuality in housing. Recently, there has been a rise in Finland in housing projects initiated by groups of elderly people, where the seniors themselves are seeking to fill in qualitative gaps in the offering of housing. This article presents a comparative analysis of four senior housing concepts that represent both a producer-driven (“for the elderly”) and a resident-driven (“by the elderly”) approach. The study shows that elderly people can be a resource for residential development and that this necessitates a different “design logic” than in conventional senior housing. | Seniour housing concepts | Aging in Pace in Finland | Housing | Fernando Nieto, Rosana Rubio (SPREAD, Tampere University) and Sergio Martín Blas (NuTAC, Polytechnic University of Madrid) | Sabina Barakovic barakovic.sabina@gmail.com | The senior housing concepts are compared and divided into two groups, i.e., producer- and resident-driven concepts. The producer-driven concepts are associated with more pragmatic and functional age-friendly solutions, whereas the resident-driven concepts are connected to identity, life-style, and social needs. These concepts differ in design logic, but overlap in a real housing project. The intention is to involve older individuals as equal actors to housing design and development. | The resident-driven concept for senior housing has not included the advantages and disadvantages of involvement of elderly, how they experience the realized housing solutions, and whether the perceived value of the end product is higher to the resident-developers then to those who did not participate in the development. Additionally, internal power hierarchies, equality issues, and conflicts in collaborative housing development projects, as well as the impact of specific methods and skills to their success has not analysed along with financial aspects and policy changes. | The resident-driven senior housing concepts implemented in Finland demonstrated how older people became involved into design and development activities with experts in order to create housing solutions that improve the qualitative diversification of the offering of urban housing. However, the creation of methods to support residential-driven concepts and requirements of industrial housing production is challenging for housing experts, while creates new markets opportunities and forces interested stakeholders to negotiate regulatory, financial, and other obstacles to resident participation. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 88, | ||||||||||||||||||||

The CoE combines scholarship from social policy, sociology and gerontology, analysing older people’s care needs, agency and equality as well as the changing character of care work in the context of transnationalisation and digitalisation of the ageing society. Of interest for this group are these two research clusters.

As QoL is associated with the sense of independence older adult’s experience, vINCI will provide the technology means for them to be in constant link with their family and friends (“the Human Link”), and with their caregivers. As vINCI must significantly improve and nourish QoL conditions for older adults by integrating leading technologies, it has been carefully premised around three complementary themes: connect, collate, and care. | vINCI | 3-5 | ctive ageing, qol monitoring, wearable sensors, health prediction | sensors, smartphone app, predictive model | Susanna Spinsante, ciprian Dobre, Constandinos Mavromoustakis | Viviane von Döllen vivianevondoellen@gmail.com | Integration of existing IoT tools to help the older adult and their caregivers to monitor certain aspects of well being via an app. Iot integrated were a smart watch and an insole | The challenge for this kind of app is to find the right set of IoT tools that both actually work reliably and that older adults see as "useful" and not "intrusive" | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 91, | ||||||||||||||||||||
