About Us
We are a startup formed by a group of students from Instituto Superior Técnico, with the goal of developing a platform to help seniors stay active and independent. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for older adults by providing a cost-effective, user-friendly solution for remote health monitoring and rehabilitation.
The problem
The elderly population is growing rapidly, and with it, the number of people with chronic diseases and disabilities. By 2050, projections indicate one in five people will be over 65. This demographic shift is putting pressure on healthcare systems worldwide, leading to increased costs and reduced quality of care. A staggering 67% of older adults lead sedentary lifestyles, increasing their risk of death by 30%. Many seniors struggle with mobility and accessing vital healthcare services, especially in rural areas. Our solution aims to address this challenge by providing a cost-effective, user-friendly platform for remote health monitoring and rehabilitation.
Our solution
Elderly Active is a comprehensive health and wellness platform designed to help seniors stay active and independent. Our solution combines physical exercise, cognitive training, and social engagement to improve overall well-being. The system includes a range of interactive games and exercises tailored to individual needs, making it easy for seniors to stay motivated and track their progress. To do this, it is used AI-based image and data processing to ensure accurate, personalized health monitoring, with all information conveniently displayed on your TV screen. With Elderly Active, seniors can enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle, reducing their risk of chronic disease and improving their quality of life.
