A prototype service will be implemented and tested among the seniors over national borders. The SoMedAll project produces a platform that offers social media focused on the needs of the elderly with a variety of easy-to-use user interfaces including web, PC, IPTV and mobile phone (equipments already at home) taking into account the skills level of the users. We implement a prototype service, test use it among the elderly over national borders. We study the usability and the impact of the services on the quality of life of the elderly. The end-users’ point of view will be taken into account in practice in Italy, Finland and possibly in Slovenia. One important issue is also to analyse possible cultural effects on the acceptance and desire for these kind of social media services.
