Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the "HAPPY AGEING" project (AAL-2008-1-113), A Home based APProach to the Years of AGEING, in the framework of The 4^th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments, held in Crete on 25^th--27^th May, 2011. The project aims at developing a new device, the HAPPY AGEING system, for the support of older people daily activities, following the user-centred design paradigm. An overview of the main aspects of the project (technical, management and end-user perspective) are reported below, in order to give an exhaustive presentation of the project and its future goals.
