The project started defining the basis for the proper management of quality and risks in the project. Also, with the creation of the communication tools for the project: website and social media.
In the following months, end-users’ partners started the definition of the user and recruitment plan. This phase followed a qualitative methodology using Cultural Probes, diaries and interviews with users to catch the user requirements. After this, personas and scenarios were used to get the initial mockup of WellCo.
As of M6, an initial overview of the technologies that could serve for the implementation of WellCo was carried out. This information served for the implementation of Prototype 1 (delivered in M18). Also, in M7, a study of the main variables, measurements and context that could affect the wellbeing of user was performed in D4.1. This extensive work set the basis for the implementation of the monitoring modules that constitute WP4.
In RP2, the work performed in WellCo focused on the implementation and validation of Prototype 2 and 3. From M19 till M26, main efforts were put on the design, development and integration of the modules and functionalities composing Prototype 2 and its validation by end-users.
The remaining months focused on the definition of the procedure to carry out as part of the final validation report and the implementation of the final prototype of WellCo. In between (M28), a secondary review meeting took place. The aim of this meeting was to determine if a project extension was needed. After it, it was clear that an extension was needed, thus, after voting, partners agreed on extending WellCo two months (from November 2020 to January 2021).
After that, the COVID-19 pandemic arose. The impact of this situation was reduced thanks to telework and weekly meetings so technical partners achieved to develop and integrate the remaining modules in WP, WP4 and WP5. Thus, the final prototype was submitted in October and validated by end-users from October till January 2021.
Along the whole project, special attention has been put to innovation and dissemination/exploitation; although these activities were more intensive in the last months of the project when more results were available.
As result of the project, we have achieved:
• A set of individual results, available in D6.9. These results will be exploited by the partners that owned them either as added functionalities to the current portfolio of products or for further research in the case of research organizations and universities.
• WellCo ecosystem (tsenior, expert and caregiver app). The ownership of WellCo is shared among consortium members, according to the shared distribution terms included in the Exploitation Agreement. In the coming months, intermediary organization of end-users will serve as key partners to contact municipalities and spread the results of WellCo among key customers - main step in the time-to-market phase.
In terms of dissemination, we have: published 25 scientific papers (15 in OpenAire), participate in 10 events, 8 workshops and 10 scientific workshops. Also, we have created dissemination materials such as videos, leaflets, newsletters, etc.
