connectedness and social network services and activities.
V2me implements this goal by a flexible assistive living solution to prevent
loneliness with particular emphasis on acceptance by senior end users.
Rooted in scientific theory and research, it uses evidence-based prevention
and intervention strategies to develop a social facilitator that enables both
prevention of loneliness in young-old individuals (65-74 years) and successful
intervention in older generations (75+ years). V2me is encouraging older
people to continue in participating in the society, to share their knowledge and
experiences, to stay mobile and cognitively agile.
