TURNTABLE (supporting older adults live healthy and active lives using online technologies)
AAL TURNTABLE is a project funded by AAL Progamme, that integrates various (ICT) information and communication technologies in a single intuitive, customized and extensible platform. Aiming at delivering an age-relevant app for older citizens in Europe, supporting healthy eating habits and activity to maint
ain physical strength and mental well-being by acquiring new ICT skills. As an ICT online Platform, we want to motivate older adults in adopting healthy nutritional habits by providing personalized dietary recommendations and guidelines to prepare healthy and balanced meals and assist them in maintaining an active lifestyle. This is done by involving them in recreational social agriculture/gardening activities like: growing their own food included in their diet, reducing feelings of isolation, acquiring new skills, enjoying green and outdoor spaces. Engaging with information and communication technology (ICT), empowers citizens to share knowledge and advice right away. Also, helps them to not feel isolated or left behind in respect to modern technology, by offering the chance to enjoy its potential benefits. Although many older people are using modern technology, many find these hard to understand and use. In our project older adults are involved at all stages of the AAL TURNTABLE platform development, making it easier to engage with and use by this group. We want to ensure that you can continue living a healthy, active and independent life. By helping older adults stay socially active, promoting better and healthier lifestyles.
