Connected Services Increasing a Healthy Lifestyle for Elderly
Description
Helicopter is a long-term, EU-funded research project aimed at supporting individuals over sixty-five in maintaining a healthy lifestyle within their own homes, using sensors integrated into an IoT system.
As a service designer I led collaboration between European companies, organizations, and institutions to develop an innovative service solution, leveraging existing technologies to support connected and healthy aging. See experience prototyping video here.
