Ageing in place is regarded as a positive goal. Still, it also represents several challenges for the individual, his/her close contacts and society, because it might become an unsafe environment for individuals who eventually can no longer meet their own basic needs, and consequently the special care is needed. Technological development (e.g., Internet of things, artificial intelligence, assistive robotics) is increasingly enabling the development of various ambient or active assisted living (AAL) approaches to support the ageing adults in living independently and safely in the environment of their choice, maintaining physical and mental health, and general quality of life (Calvaresi et al., 2017; Ganesan et al., 2019). Despite the great potential, current types of technologies are generally not well accepted by the ageing population since they are typically designed on the basis of existing technologies and their capabilities, while neglecting the actual needs of ageing population. In the proposed project we’ll address the aforementioned issues with the goal of empowering ageing adults and supporting them in achieving higher quality of life, through addressing self‐regulatory mechanisms with the support of digital technology. First, we’ll explore the needs and interests of ageing adults in their daily lives and analyze which of the defined areas might be addressed through assistive technologies. Second, we’ll determine older adults’ preferences and expectations regarding the design of assistive technology, and consequently we’ll develop an integrated dynamic model that incorporates different enablers of health behavior change (i.e., personalization via telemonitoring, guidance, and gamification), test it in a pilot study, and adapt the model based on feedback from the study. The final objective is to examine the short‐term and long‐term effectiveness of the hypothesized model and prepare a feasible, sustainable, and cost‐effective implementation strategy together with the relevant stakeholders (e.g., mobile network operators, regulators).
