Abstract:

Nowadays, Social Isolation is a big health and social problem that communities are facing. Older adults face many challenges to their independence, often related to feeling loneliness, to a decline in mobility or cognition. Senior isolation is one of the biggest threats to the health of European seniors, while it remains among the most difficult to recognize. It’s a health risk not often discussed, but at least a quarter of seniors over 70 live with it. And its devastating effects can be felt physically, mentally and emotionally. On the other side, Social inclusion is a multidimensional, dynamic relational process. SI4SI is unique in its kind because it responds to a very urgent and topical need: the emotional and social care of the elderly, too often ignored by private and public health systems that tend more to safeguard physical health. Our solution, through non-invasive cognitive technology, is able to improve the independent living of the elderly. To avoid social isolation and foster the participation of seniors in healthy and social behaviours we need to provide a reason for tomorrow, we need to improve caregivers' relationships, we need to provide seniors an important role in society. Therefore, it is needed to: 1. Detect symptoms of social isolation; 2. Improve Independent Living and 3. Create Social Inclusion. To detect the Social Isolation, the consortium has proposed a multimodal sensor-based recognition method for social-ADL and ADL, which is implemented in an IoT-based physical and emotion recognition sensors network and AI algorithm in order to build a Smart Living environment, scalable in a wide range of context (nursing homes; seniors residences etc). SI4I first recognizes a person's activities and change of emotions by integrating the sensors’ data: microwave sensor for vital data, video camera for facial expressions, microphone for speech tone, environmental sensors for temperature, and brightness etc. All the activities are reported to Caregivers who can set and manage the Smart Living Environment. Improve the Independent Living: AI based suggestion and intervention using different types of Interactions (such as Smart Home TAB for Video and Voice Based interaction) providing immediate support to primary end-users (elders), decision support to secondary ones (caregivers), taking care of the seniors who are isolated from the community. Create Social Inclusion: Provide the possibility to seniors with common experience to know each other and provide the possibility to know young people with the same job of the seniors in order to provide teaching and training.
