Elena Vari | UNIBG | vari.elena@gmail.com Moreno Gambirasi | UNIBG | moreno.gambirasi@gmail.com Validating data needed from bergamo: • facts and numbers for aging population in Bergamo • facts and numbers of how elderly life is being dealt with right now • a series of videos documenting the concerns of the elderly, their families and social institutions who provide elderly with services (Federico)

Assets: • aging population phenomena • concerned of care from family members • social services that supervise elderly for independent, graceful life

Objectives: 1. understanding and presenting hidden parameters of physical and psychological wellbeing beyond clinical data and based on sensing simple indicators 2. establishing a list of possible parameters to sense, the sensors that allow for it, and possible stories and life patterns that can be deduced from it
