Abstract:
Recent studies have shown that only one in five Norwegian adults and elderly reach the national recommendation of 30 minutes of daily activity. Increasing the activity of the elderly is one of the main foci of Hagen Utvalget, a committee appointed by the Norwegian government to solve future challenges in care services. The report emphasizes on using technology to help solve such health problems. Using a sensor called the activPAL we are able to classify a patients activity into periods spent walking, standing and sedentary. Data gathered by the sensor is used to create visualizations illustra

Abstract:
The post-war generation in Finland, as in many Western countries, has reached senior age and is currently in retirement. We have more ageing people than ever and we thus need new concepts for caring for them. Senior citizens dream of a healthy home to live in, high quality and accessibility, a feeling of comfort and safety and staying active despite ageing. The question is how architecture could bring these contents into their lives. Wood as a construction material has several known positive properties and using logs as material for senior houses create a healthy environment. The aim of this t

Abstract:
Research indicates that today’s aging population may obtain various benefits from using computer technology. These benefits include increased self-esteem, decreased depression, increased life satisfaction, and decreased loneliness; however, few of these studies have employed quantitative measures to quantify these results. This study focused on the possible benefits related to self-esteem and life satisfaction of older computer users. Participants belonged to either a control group or an experimental group. The experimental group participated in an eight-week computer training course. The cont

Much of research is done and many researchers all around the world emphasize the importance of assistive technologies. Current technological advancements in communication allow us to build systems which could be useful tools for the caregivers and allow the elderly to live more autonomous and active life.

Abstract:
Due to the population aging phenomenon, the working-age population will decline in the future while the seniors’ quality of life can decline. A lot of research has been done and many of researchers figure out modern ICT and mobile technology needs to shoulder more responsibility in elderly care. The benefit of science and technology should be brought to senior citizens’ life. Moreover, the smartphone ownership rate has been increasing in recent years, espe- cially the percentage of Android phone ownership. Because elders will take smart- phone everywhere, installing an application in senior c

Abstract:
In the last twenty five years the health of individuals worldwide has changed. Life expectancy has substantially increased and the proportion of older citizens is growing constantly. This growing population of elderly people will dominate the housing market in the coming years. An increased demand for housing and health care services for the elderly calls not only for much greater supply than we have ever experienced, but also for new approaches, one of which is based on the graduation of care. Provincial and local governments are looking for innovative options and design solutions which coul
