Descrizione del progetto
ICT for ageing well with cognitive problems, combining assistive and independent living technologies
SOCIABLE introduces a radically new approach for ICT assisted cognitive training and social activation for a wide range of senior citizens including cognitive intact elderly, older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment, as well as patients suffering from mild Alzheimer’s disease. SOCIABLE supports personalized cognitive training interventions designed according to medically sound principles covering all the cognitive skills. The applications support a novel approach combining the conventional human care factor with an ICT surface computing platform.
\\n\\nThe SOCIABLE services have been successfully deployed across seven pilot sites (including hospitals, care/leisure and day centers) in four European countries (Greece, Italy, Norway, Spain). These pilot sites were operated by end-user partners of the project, while they were supported by medical and technical partners of the project in terms of medical and ICT aspects respectively. The SOCIABLE service (and its pilot operations) targets three main elderly groups suffering from cognitive decline, including healthy elderly, elderly with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and elderly with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Over 300 users from these three groups participated in the SOCIABLE pilot operations, according to a medically sound clinical protocol (randomized clinical trial).
SOCIABLE will pilot a radically new ICT based approach for integrated support of mental activity, as well as boosting of social interaction for individuals that have been diagnosed to suffer from mild dementia. SOCIABLE will integrate human support and care services offered by care centres and specialized/expert operators (e.g. geriatric internist, geriatric psychiatrist, neurologist, neuropsychologist or geropsychologist), with state-of-the-art ICT infrastructure and independent living technologies. This new approach will build upon three tested (in the scope of the award winning ElderGames project) technological pillars, which have proven therapeutical value , namely: (a) Novel perceptive mixed reality interfaces based on multi-touch surfaces, (b) An open platform for cognitive training games development, which allows the flexible creation and customization of cognitive training games and (c) "Profiling" and social "matching" capabilities boosting social networking and interaction between aged individuals. SOCIABLE will be piloted with the participation of 350 senior citizens in 7 different pilot sites (Trodheim Kommune, Hygeia, Morgagni Pierantoni Hospital, Municipality of Forlì, "KAPI DIMOU PERISTERIOU" (Centre of open protection for the elderly of the Municipality of Peristeri), Vzw Cassiers Wzc and PREVI S.L) from 5 European countries (Belgium, Greece, Italy, Norway, Spain).Overall, SOCIABLE will integrate, deploy and operate an innovative ICT-enabled on-line service for assessing and accordingly reinforcing the mental state of the elderly through pleasant gaming activities for cognitive training, while at the same time boosting their social networking and activating their day-to-day interpersonal interactions. SOCIABLE is envisaged as a service with high potential for societal impact that could add value to current service offerings of care services providers. Furthermore, it is associated with a clear business potential for wider sustainability and use.
