One of the central social challenges of the 21st century is society’s aging. AI provides numerous possibilities for meeting this challenge. In this context, the concept of digital twins, based on Cyber-Physical Systems, offers an exciting prospect. The e-VITA project, in which a virtual coaching system for elderly people is being created, allows th...
Aim
The aim of this study is to report a trial protocol for assessing the improvement of older adults’ well-being, promoting active and healthy aging, and reducing the risks of social exclusion, using a virtual coach.
Background
Increased longevity brings with it reduced autonomy and independence, and it is therefore necessary to act with preventi...
Background: The integration of stakeholders is crucial in developing smart living technologies to support the autonomy of elderly populations. Despite the clear benefits of these technologies, there remains a significant gap in comprehensive research. Methods: This study presents the viewpoints of 19 stakeholders from Europe and Japan, focusing on...
(1) Background: The increasing older population and demographic shifts highlight the need to understand the digital profiles of older adults, a pivotal factor in developing innovative technologies like the e-VITA virtual coach. This personalized coach provides recommendations for sustainable well-being in a smart home environment. (2) Methods: This...
Background
Technological advances in robotics, artificial intelligence, cognitive algorithms, and internet-based coaches have contributed to the development of devices capable of responding to some of the challenges resulting from demographic aging. Numerous studies have explored the use of robotic coaching solutions (RCSs) for supporting healthy b...
The effects of docosahexaenoic acid supplements on cognitive function have long been demonstrated, but the effects of alpha-linolenic acid, a precursor of docosahexaenoic acid, have not been fully tested. The search for functional foods that delay cognitive decline in the older adults is considered a very important area from a preventive perspectiv...
Intercultural studies are scarce but yet insightful to better understand reactions of older adults to human-like Android robot behavior. They help to see which reactions of participants are universal and which are country specific. Research with android robots and older adults has many results that are based on online research with pictures or on r...
With the problem of ageing population increasingly prominent, the burden of families, caregivers and medical workers to take care of older adults will be heavier. Social exclusion and cognitive dysfunctions make things worse, especially in times of a pandemic. One of the most effective approaches to solve these problems can be technology, which app...
Virtual coaching systems show great potential for meeting the challenges of demographic change. However, the proportion of older users in the field of digital technologies is far behind that of younger people. As part of the e-VITA project, semi-structured interviews were conducted in Japan, France, Italy and Germany with 58 people aged 65 and over...
Introduction
The focus on intrinsic capacity (IC) could help clinicians to design interventions to improve the health of the older population. This review aims to map the current state of the art in the field of multi-domain interventions based on the IC framework, to allow health professionals in identifying personalized clinical interventions, or...
BACKGROUND
The worldwide ageing trend requires conceptually new prevention, care and innovative living solutions to support human-based care using smart technology and concerns the whole globe nowadays. Enabling access to active and healthy ageing through personalised digital coaching services like physical activity coaching, cognitive training, em...

This paper describes the work on experimenting with the dialogue system and elder adults. The work was carried out as part of the large EU-Japan collaboration project e-VITA, and the first living-lab experiments concerning the feasibility of the robot coaching and the user expectations about the future coach.
As the population ages, the question of how to prevent isolation among older people and increase their well-being becomes a social issue. It has often been argued that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) usage can be a solution to these challenges, but empirical studies have not shown consistent results. Moreover, there are even fewer st...

... A conceptual analysis of psychological safety proposed that psychological safety in the health care work environment influences proactive behavior [46]. Strong interpersonal relationships such as trust, respect, and support can effectively promote psychological safety [46,47]. This could be used to explain why older patients in this study thought that effective interaction in an equal environment created a psychological safety domain for them. ...

... Only a few food products contain α-linolenic acid, which must be supplemented in the diet to safeguard health. The ingestion of 2.2 g of alpha-linolenic acid per day from flax seed oil enhanced verbal fluency in healthy people without cognitive impairments, despite an agerelated reduction in cognitive function [35]. Major fatty acids in poppy seed oil (Table 2) were linoleic (C18:2n6c), oleic (C18:1n9c), and palmitic (C 16:0) acids. ...
... Moreover, it is designed to provide a more intimate and personal interactive experience compared with other virtual assistants, incorporating elements of relationship and affection in its behavior (51-55). • CelesTE (56)(57)(58) and DarumaTO (59)(60)(61) are social robots that have religion as a principal theme. CelesTE resembles an angelic statue atop a column inspired by sacred Christianity art and neoclassical architecture. ...

... ERICA was proposed to be employed in other social interaction tasks, e.g., as an attendant or a receptionist. Recent research suggests that android robots might be useful as interaction partners for community-dwelling older adults with little company [2]. Additionally android robots might be useful tools in other research areas, too, e.g., in psychological studies regarding emotional interactions [3]. ...

... By engaging older adults, their informal and professional health caregivers, community members, and policymakers, the project aims to foster collaboration. The insights gained from these consultations are then mapped and utilized to comprehend the contextual use and identify potential users of the system (36,37). The inclusion of different types of beneficiaries in all the countries could support local governments to adopt and adapt cross-national policies for AHA that fulfill the real needs of older adults, respecting different cultural perspectives. ...
