Due to demographic developments, health and social services face ever-increasing demands for a dignified life for the elderly. Many people today who rely on retirement homes could live an active life at home if they could prevent worsening of their health and be adequately monitored. Active.me wants to improve the wellbeing for target groups through developing an integrated solution for preventive care for the elderly and/or people suffering from chronic diseases. 

The main activities of the project are research and development leading to design and deployment of a new experimental product – a series of behavioral interventions together with an innovative digital platform. The digital platform will integrate a set of health and social services and will focus on active prevention of disease and maintenance of good health for senior citizens. The focus is on seniors with 3 most frequent at-risk indicators: elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar (prediabetes) and moderate mental health challenges. The aim is to provide seniors with comprehensive data and advice about their lifestyle, therapy instructions and support them through a network of patients and experts.
