- Persons aged 50+: often themselves faced with the situation of having to organize an informal / formal caregiver to support a close relative (e.g., their parents).
- Persons with a professional background in care: this includes formal caregivers such as certified healthcare workers, (geriatric) nurses and nursing assistants.
The 5 project dimensions:
Social purpose
We see helping organizations and families take care of others as a long- term meaningful activity.
On-demand technologies
In the context of COVID-19, remote work has become mainstream. HEROES is an innovative age-friendly solution that enables reviewers of any age to work remotely in evaluating caregiver candidates by using on- demand interview technology.
Action-oriented learning
Step-by-step virtual coach for persons aged 50+ that engages them in action learning tasks (prepare – act – think – reflect).
Actionable insights
Using big data and analytics to measure the social, economic, and emotional impact of work interactions on the well-being of persons aged 50+ will also provide actionable insights to policymakers.
Cross-generational
Co-creation and cross-generational. Persons 50+ are systematically involved in the co-design of the solution, which is then implemented in hackathons by local developer communities. (Hackathon = collaborative development events, with the goal of jointly producing useful, creative, or entertaining software products).
