Social Network for Elderly

Abstract

Elderly’s health is closely related to their level of social activity. Main- taining an active social life contributes to peoples’ ability to live at home longer and enjoy an active and healthy life. Yet, as age progresses maintaining and expanding a social network can be changeling. The work presented here demonstrates a design and implementation of a social network system for elderly, including a recommender system, which will recommend relevant cultural and social events, and friends and acquaintances to enjoy these events with.
