NESTORE is a European research project aiming to deliver novel empowering solutions for older people to stay well as they age. Technological innovations will be harnessed and manifested as a set of user-friendly devices: NESTORE through which personalized advice to promote wellbeing will be delivered.
As a set of smart and user-friendly devices, NESTORE is a friend and a coach understanding our needs, mood and preferences, to propose activities and services matching our personality, environment and health status: the piece of advice when we need it and how we need it.
Recently there has been a proliferation of devices (e.g.) Google Home or Amazon Alexa that have shown the great potential of multifunction tangible objects to provide assistance at home. Yet ensuring these highly technical projects are developed hand-in-hand with populations that are in general quite afar from those technologies can be a challenge.
NESTORE teamed up with skilled experts in co-creation to make sure older persons would be seating on the driver seats of our research and innovation processes.
