Population aging with longer life expectancy represents one of the most relevant challenges of the next future, also because of a significant proportion of older adult people may present with dementia. Motivating senior citizens with mild cognitive impairment to maintain their independence and functional abilities, improve health status and quality of life as well as social interactions, constitutes the main target of preventive medicine. According to a nudge theoretical approach, the SENIOR (SystEm of Nudge theory based ICT applications for OldeR citizens) project- developed thanks to the collaboration among Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Bicocca University and IRCCS Auxiologico Institute in Milan (Italy) - has been designed to adopt an advanced information and communication technology coaching system able to collect and integrate physiological, psychological and behavioral data, with the final aim of interacting with community-dwelling elderly people suffering from mild cognitive impairment and of providing them personalized feedback on lifestyle management. The SENIOR project proposes to use a smart-watch app for alerting family doctors, sharing information with family members in specific cases and monitoring patients at higher risk in hospital Units, in order to ameliorate health of senior citizens with mild cognitive impairment.
预期寿命延长导致的人口老龄化是未来面临的最重大挑战之一，这还因为相当一部分老年人可能患有痴呆症。激励轻度认知障碍的老年人保持独立和功能能力、改善健康状况和生活质量以及社交互动，是预防医学的主要目标。根据助推理论方法，得益于意大利米兰圣心天主教大学、比科卡大学和IRCCS奥西奥洛吉科研究所的合作开发的SENIOR（基于助推理论的信息通信技术应用于老年公民系统）项目，旨在采用先进的信息通信技术指导系统，该系统能够收集和整合生理、心理和行为数据，最终目的是与患有轻度认知障碍的社区老年人互动，并为他们提供有关生活方式管理的个性化反馈。SENIOR项目提议使用智能手表应用程序提醒家庭医生、在特定情况下与家庭成员共享信息以及在医院病房监测高危患者，以改善患有轻度认知障碍的老年人的健康状况。
