VIZIER (The Elderly Friendly Interface to Modern Online Services and Internet of Things Appliances)
Vizier proposes a modular and extendable “open architecture” hardware and software solution that includes a home system composed of a range of sensors, IoT appliances, a social companion (presented as a robot or virtual human) and a set of applications to allow the elderly to access existing popular but difficult to use (online) technologies and IoT technologies.
Vizier strives to improve the lives of the elderly by providing them with the tools to live healthy and independently for a long period. It aims to design and develop an innovative solution for elderly users to close the digital divide and empower elderly users to fully benefit from the latest technological innovations to improve the management of their daily lives and to stay physically, mentally and socially active. Through an intuitive and natural user interface, the envisaged intelligent system solution aims to support the elderly in their daily lives and to promote behaviour change.
In response to the challenges posed by the VIzier project, three project partners - NetUnion, the University of Geneva, and the VIVA association - customized Memory Club to meet these demands.
This project was funded under the European Research Programme AAL (Aging Well in the Digital World)
