Mobilizing project ActiVas is a disruptive and diversified response to the addressed challenges of an ageing population, a major challenge facing societies today, in terms of built-up environments and spaces. Composed by 6 PPS’s, the project aims to develop a set of innovative, technological, and multidisciplinary solutions for an Active, Safe and Healthy Life, that will contribute to the definition and optimization of a new concept of habitat, senior-friendly, endowing this increasing part of the population with the needed autonomy and safety, so they can enjoy a higher and better quality of life. The initiative targets are the population over 65 years, active (not dependent), with or without any capacity of technological interaction.

In this project, it is also aimed to evolve the concept of Habitat, endowing it with adaptive and transformative capacity, aligned with different age group’s necessities; understand health, well-being and illness determinant factors; prevent and take care of diseases in old-age; promote the active aging and self-management of health; optimize the informal methods and healthcare; render informal healthcare and integrated care in a more efficient form; decrease the existing gap between the senior population and remaining age groups; and fight the senior population isolation.

The project consortium, leaded by Kentra Technologies, is composed by 12 companies and 8 R&D entities.
