The AAL4ALL project was once again highlighted on national television, this time around on the programme “Sabia que?” of RTP Informação.
Fraunhofer received the RTP journalists, who began by interviewing the AAL4ALL team, who, in turn, explained the technical issues related to the software for the smartphone specifically designed for seniors. They also presented the web platform for caregivers, both informal and formal, designed so that they can stay up to date on the activities of their family members or people they care for (patients or attendees of a Centre for seniors, for example).
Then, two volunteers involved in the trials, Mr. António Baptista and his daughter, Mrs. Aldina Almeida, gave insights on the importance of the system for older adults and their caregivers.
Mr. Baptista emphasized the usefulness of the medication reminders and the importance of the size of the buttons that allowed easy reading. Mr. Baptista also commented that during the trial (2 months) he checked the chart that showed him his activity throughout the day. His daughter told the journalist that she felt more reassured for being able to remotely accompany the daily life of his father.
Thank you Mrs. Aldina Almeida and Mr. Baptista for your dedicated participation.
