The elderly do not have an active lifestyle, with no stimulant cognitive and/or physical activities. Our app will improve their lifestyle with games and ways to contact their family.
Insufficient physical and cognitives activies are a major problem that affects the elderly. This problem is aggravated by social isolation. According to Guarda Nacional Republicana (GNR), there are 45.563 elderly living alone in Portugal (source).
These people suffer from the negative effects of social exclusion and usually shut themselves off.
+ativa is an intuitive app that offers three main features:
- Stimulant cognitive activities, such as games.
- Basic image and voice sharing chat with family.
- Gamification of day-to-day tasks, with a concept of workspaces. (Workspaces can be a family, a group of friends or even a retirement home)
Our app only needs a smartphone and is intuitive enough so that the elderly can easily get the gist of it.
The app offers a simple and intuitive feed filled with suggestions of tasks.
There will be several games adapted and implemented with the elderly in mind.
