MERITT – Maintaining Active and Healthy Living Through Serious Games and Artificial Intelligence
The elderly population worldwide faces medical, psychological, emotional and social limitations that reduce their quality of life and prevent them from actively participating in everyday life. The MERITT project proposes a coherent set of activities (and related modules and applications) that positively influence autonomy, participation in social life, and the accumulation of digital skills and competences for the elderly population.
To this end, the MERITT project exploits gamification to motivate and educate older people to maintain an active life while maintaining social connections. In addition, it proposes a strategy for developing digital skills in a fun and engaging way. Thus, addressing both the health challenges brought by aging, with the needs of relationships and social functioning, the MERITT project offers a comprehensive continuum of support services.
