Co-Living Social Community for Elderly

Abstract

With a rapidly increasing elderly population, keeping elderly healthy is more important than ever. Physical and social activity is closely related to people’s well-being. This paper describes some of the challenges faced when activating elderly people in an organised fashion. We propose a Virtual Collaborative Social Living Community for Elderly; utilizing friends, family and care-professionals connected to the elderly in achieving this goal. Challenges related to this work in progress are then presented.
