Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The e-VITA project is a collaboration between two separate consortia of academic and industrial actors from the European Union (France, Italy, Belgium and Germany) and Japan, with the aim of developing a virtual coach for older people. These virtual coaches are installed in the homes of older people and interact with them, suggesting a range of activities and advice for an active and healthy ageing.
The aim of the study is to demonstrate that the use of the virtual coach improves the user's quality of life (QOL) as assessed by the EQ-5D-5L. It is also to measure user adherence to the virtual coach system based on the frequency of use of the virtual coach and the drop-out rate.
