OASIS from the end-user point of view Print

AN OASIS BEYOND 50

Ageing has for many become a synonym of leading a passive life, being confined to one’s home, and dependent on others, ultimately spending the rest of your life in a residential care home.

However, an ageing life can coexist with a continued active lifestyle. OASIS offers you the opportunity to continue to live independently at home, to travel and even to continue to work.

Living healthy and safe at home

Being able to live at home in a safe environment, and getting the assistance when needed is what OASIS aims at. This is achieved via a personalised program offered to you through your TV or Computer which can programme your daily nutrition needs, and even advises you on how to cook and with what ingredients. OASIS will also provide you information on how you can improve your health with a daily set of exercises, while monitoring your overall health status.

OASIS is self-assuring, offering you the possibility to monitor your movements, with active alerts in case of a fall and is also able to interact with your home environment, optimising the home temperature, lighting, opening of the doors, thus continuously supporting you by ensuring your home environment meets exactly your personal needs.

Memory - Training and Continuing Working

OASIS provides daily training exercises to stimulate your cognitive skills and also offers exercises to limit your stress levels. This is done in a familiar environment for example, through your TV.

Working will also become easier and rewarding thanks to OASIS services that will allow you to work at your office and from home, in the best conditions, allowing you to communicate with everyone through your PC, using video, sound, etc.

Social activities

OASIS provides you with the means to interact with others, whether it is from your age group, or not, and whether it is job related or not, via the TV, PC or mobile. It will bring together speech and video to maximise the communication experience, and to strengthen and solidify your social and working bonds/networks. Additionally, life long learning via your computer i.e. “e-learning” will be offered as an important working and training tool.

Elderly friendly transport

OASIS will provide you the possibility to travel, and receive relevant trip information before and during travelling, enhancing the overall journey planning and confidence of your trip. In addition, OASIS will assist you in whatever mode you travel, be it by bus, car, and train or on foot and even allowing you to combine the different types of transport modes, taking into account your personal needs. OASIS will for example, inform you on the shortest (accessible) route, the closest accessible restaurants, touristic places, etc, making your journey as seamless as possible.
