Overview

Background & Policy context

For all generations, unrestricted individual mobility is crucial for social exchange and participation. A self-determined life in old age therefore requires support in coping with distances.

Objectives

The project inDAgo develops the inDAgo assistant, a personalized multifunctional device and a mobile application that users carry with them.

The device allows access to various data sources, information and navigation services tailored to the target group and individual requirements. This enables users to find out about events and leisure activities in Darmstadt, for example. At the same time, the inDAgo Assistant can guide its users to a destination based on the data stored about them. For example, if a senior who has difficulty running, wants to make an appointment with a doctor using buses and trains, the assistant suggests a suitable route and schedule for his or her needs.

Methodology

In addition to providing information and navigation aids, the system supports contacting other participants. This enables elderly people with the same interests and needs to network and, for example, to visit an exhibition together. In tricky situations - such as when an elderly person has lost his or her orientation on the way - he or she can contact a person of trust via the assistant and ask for help.
