The City4age project combines Internet of Things, data from smart cities and powerful schemes for sending messages, to develop sustainable prevention of MCI/Frailty in aging population. To do so, it combines detection (for early spotting of symptoms) and intervention (for suggesting positive changes of behavior).
Over the next 20 years there will be demographic shift from predominantly younger populations to older ones. Current models of care and pathways require transforming to become more citizen focused and support greater community resilience and sustainability. This will require different approaches to innovation to improve quality of life for people as they age, reduce onset of frailty as well as support...
Smart living and well aging represent key challenges for our society. The precursor state of adverse outcomes that characterize aging has been recognized from scientific community with the frailty syndrome, determined by the loss of physical and psychological capacities. In this paper we define gait and posture indexes that can be effectively and unobtrusively measured using computer vision and RGBD...
The ARPEGE project proposes a set of technological tools to assess frailty of elderly in their usual environment, typically their home, with reference to Fried's scale of physical frailty. It consists of a set of measurement devices wirelessly connected to a tablet PC which allows easy manipulation by social caregivers and the production of reports either at the end of the investigation, or later...

This period started between 1991 and 1996 with a rapid decline of fertility and mortality rates and still continues today. This demographic stage constitutes the window or bonus of the best opportunity for Iranian policy makers to do their plan for rapid aging of population...
