Santos, Luisa Micaela Teixeira; Bobrowicz-Campos, Elzbieta; Ventura, Filipa Isabel Quaresma Santos; Parola, Vitor Sérgio de OliveiraThis chapter focuses on the use of technology on older adult health promotion. During the ageing process, they experience changes in physical, cognitive, psychological, and social domains. Frailty is the most problematic expression of ageing and entails a high risk of adverse outcomes. In order to prevent it, healthcare professionals must intervene on health promotion. However, it\\\'s impossible to continuousl...
Sensors as a Technological Solution for a Successful Ageing
Bobrowicz-Campos, Elzbieta; Parola, Vitor; Coelho, Adriana Raquel Neves; Moreno-Casbas, TeresaThere is a growing need to implement and evaluate technological solutions that allow early detection of age-related adverse outcomes, like frailty, and enable assessment of lifestyle habits that can be maintained or improved to prevent such adverse outcomes. In this study, the sample is composed by older adults aged 65-80 years, recruited from the community, and who agreed to use an electronic device ACM Kronow...

Apóstolo, João Luís Alves; Bobrowicz-Campos, Elzbieta; Moreno-Casbas, Teresa; Santos, Luisa Micaela Teixeira; Madariaga, Ricardo Sánchez deThere is a growing need to implement and evaluate the technological solutions that allow the early detection of age-related frailty and enable assessment of the predictive values of frailty components. The broad use of these solutions may ensure an efficient and sustainable response of health and social care systems to the challenges related to demographic aging. In this paper, we present the protocol of the Mo...
Sensors as a technological solution for a successful ageing
Santos, Luisa Micaela Teixeira; Bobrowicz-Campos, Elzbieta; Parola, Vitor Sérgio de Oliveira; Coelho, Adriana Raquel NevesThere is a growing need to implement and evaluate the technological solutions that allow the early detection of age-related adverse outcomes, as frailty, and enable assessment of lifestyle habits that can be maintain or improved to prevent such adverse outcomes. In this study, the sample are composed by older adults aged 65-80 years, recruited from community, and invited to use an electronic de-vice ACM Kronowi...
