The activities to be performed in WP5 will make use of Key Enabling Technologies and will take into account the input and the needs of WP1, WP2 and WP3 in order to develop innovative smart technological products and solutions, easily adaptable, for specific applications in elderly people’s functionalities and to help the elderly in daily activities and to evaluate progress of their physical and cognitive decline (frailty, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, delirium, sarcopenia). This allows to identify specific challenges for early diagnosis, objective evaluation, therapy control, monitoring and rehabilitation. Therefore, innovative concepts and solutions of ICT (integrating hardware and software accordingly to a Smart Systems Integration approach) will be introduced in which users, IoT devices, AI-powered social robots and objects connected to the Cloud will collaborate to create a kind of "cognitive agent" to predict user needs and provide assistance, monitoring and coaching solutions.
