Online platform aimed at wellbeing activities for seniors

In Europe, around 75 million people are socially isolated. The ESA-coordinated WELLACTIVE project relies on GNSS and EO satellite data to help elderly people socialize and get involved in leisure activities, reducing their risk of suffering from social isolation.

The WELLACTIVE aims to limit on the one side the Elderly assistance costs and on the other side to help Seniors enjoy a better and more active life by socializing and getting involved into fun and challenging leisure outdoor activities. WELLACTIVE provides a unified fitness & leisure platform enabling Seniors to organise and practice outdoor activities that seamlessly combine personalised « physical, intellectual and social » endeavours, adapted in real-time to their «individual abilities» and to «external conditions». The service mainly targets two categories of users: seniors organisations looking to promote their elderly members’ quality of life, and Seniors faced with the challenge of age and eager to engage into “stay fit” wellbeing activities. The service relies on the use of GNSS and satellite EO data enabling geo-localisation, providing itinerary and delivering local weather and air pollution information.
