The objective of MOBILESAGE is to provide
elderly people with context-sensitive,
personal-ized and location-sensitive
tools which allow them to carry out and
solve everyday tasks and problems when
and where they occur, “just-in-time”.
Modern elderly live longer, are healthier,
more active, mobile, independent
and more demanding customers than
ever before They will increasingly look
for useful, user-friendly and personalized
ICT services that add value to their
active and mobile life and that can help
them to stay active despite various impairments.
Here MOBILESAGE provides
a timely approach and solution.
The MOBILESAGE services will considerably
ease the understanding of everyday
devices and machines and increase
the independence of primary end-users
by providing help for self-help and stimulate
their own problem solving skills
in everyday life. It will also lighten the
burden for family members, care persons,
and other secondary end-users as
the primary end-user will be enabled to
solve daily challenges in an independent
manner. Also, NGOs for the elderly are
likely to find the services valuable and
useful.

This project targets elderly persons with or without impairments (motor, perception, cognition). The idea behind MobileSage is to provide the elderly with context-sensitive, personalized, and location-sensitive tools that allow them to carry out and solve everyday tasks and problems in the self-serve society when and where they occur, “just-in-time.” This is made possible by producing and exploiting a mixture of professional and user-generated content that supports the help-for-self-help principle. Help can be provided both in the home environment and on the go. MobileSage denotes a personal agent on the smartphone, aiming to provide relevant, accessible, and usable content in a personalized and multimodal manner, and it exploits mechanisms for adaptive and learning user interfaces.
