Agnes stands for Ageing in a Networked Society. Countries at the moment: SE, DE, GR, AT, IT, ES

The pre-proposal refers to mild cognitive impairments and wants to provide a social network that connects these people with their families/friends/carers.
The platform includes a classical telehealth-monitoring setting and passes information back and forth between the elderly and his/her network. In so far, it "may" also be used in the context of the current call. The description of the objectives, however, do not really refer to the specifics outlined in the call text, but rather to the general AAL objectives. This can be critical in comparison to better targeted proposals.
Emphasis is put on the technological work; it is recommended that the "user-centred methodology" for testing is more emphasised rather than the technology work.
The consortium is already quite comprehensive - 6 countries is at the upper end of our expectations.
