MobileSage: Situated Adaptive Guidance for the Mobile Elderly
Project acronym: MobileSage
Partners (9): Norwegian Computing Center (NO), Seniornett (NO), Ruter (NO), TeamNet (RO), University of Ulster (UK), Ingeneria & Soluciones Informaticas (ES), Telefonica Investigación y Desarrollo (ES), Fundación OVSI (ES), Ana Aslan International Foundation (RO).
Project coordinator (joint project): : Ivar Solheim, Norwegian Computing Center, Norway .
Project manager Norway: Ivar Solheim, Norwegian Computing Center
Primary objective: Provide elderly people with context-sensitive, personalized and location-sensitive tools which allow them to carry out and solve everyday tasks and problems in the “self-serve society” - when and where they occur, and “just-in-time”.
Project summary: Older people live longer after retirement, are healthier and more active, mobile, independent and more demanding customers than ever before. They want their ICT- services to be useful, user-friendly and personalized, adding value to an active life and helping them to stay active and mobile regardless of impairments. The MobilSage project aims to.develop two innovative services advancing older people's independence and mobility in daily life, in particular in transportation and travel.
The MobileSage system provides two services. First, a personal agent on the smart-phone, providing “help-on-demand”. This service offers relevant, accessible and usable content on request, in the form of multimodal and personalized instruction and guidance. The type and media mode is adapted to the user's profile and preferences. A second service enables and promotes the user's own generation of help in finding accessible and usable content. This will make the MobileSage system relevant and useful even for secondary and tertiary end-users.
