SmartSenior: longer independence for senior citizens.
In Germany, the proportion of older people in the population is growing.
By 2035, more than half of all people will be over 50 years old and every third person will already be over 60. This demographic development in our society poses a great challenge: How can we ensure that the growing number of senior citizens live for as long as possible while maintain a high degree of independence and receiving optimum care? The initiative "SmartSenior - intelligent services for senior citizens" has set itself this precise task; to create and maintain the best possible quality of life for older people.
"SmartSenior is a research project, supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the contributions of many renowned companies and research institutions.
As Professor Hans Aukes from Deutsche Telekom and Spokesman of the consortium explains:
»SmartSenior is about people, about their dignity and their autonomy. Technology has a supporting role to play. I should be there to serve people, remaining in the background wherever possible, to provide a system of intelligent assistance.«
