EASYREACH
EasyReach is an innovative and sustainable ICT solution to allow elderly and less educated people to participate in the benefits of IT-based social interactions.
The project builds a system, called EasyReach that supports many styles of social interaction between users provide them an easy way to organise groups of people that already know each other, create groups of people that care for a certain common topic, organise groups for the purpose of ‘interfacing’ with real world social groups and organise help sessions where a skilled user helps or train others.
The services of EasyReach also provide elderly people with proper means for support of interactions like appointments and things to-do, automatic structure and maintain user’s information, monitor of users’ quality of interaction in order to provide feedback and foster new interactions.
The use of TV as the core communication interface device and a simple remote control for accessing the services, EasyReach becomes an especially accessible system, easy to install, configure and apply in every-day life.
