2 General overview (1) ICT PSP Main Theme addressed: 1.4: ICT for ageing well with cognitive problems, combining assistive and independent living technologies As the elderly population across Europe increases, several concerns over the care and service given to these individuals have been brought to light. 30-month project under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme. Goal is to support the growing elderly population in Europe and their families through extensive use of technology and clinical research. Integrated ICT platform which combines cognitive activity against cognitive decline with physical activity within the framework of an assisted living environment. Will utilize remotely operated screens embedded in the independent living environment and connected to training equipment (such as recumbent bikes, ergometers or treadmills.) pilot programme in five (5) countries: Austria France Greece Spain United Kingdom General overview (2) Long Lasting Memories (LLM) is an integrated ICT platform, which: combines state-of-the-art cognitive exercises against cognitive decline with physical activity in the framework of an advanced ambient assisted living environment. LLM will offer support to elderly people and their relatives and families, by monitoring of day-to-day activities of senior citizens and identifying imminent hazards, increasing their self-esteem and alleviate symptoms relevant to cognitive decline, their loneliness and potential depression. 2
