An 11-member consortium is creating an innovative service solution for the management of cognitive and physical health for the elderly. The consortium will pilot the Long Lasting Memories (LLM) solution in five European countries–Austria, France, Greece, Spain, UK.

LLM is a 30-month project which aims to integrate and deliver a program to enhance the physical and cognitive health in the elderly, enabling them to live independent, healthy lives.

The LLM Project was launched recently with a kick-off meeting held in Corfu, Greece. The consortium partners met to coalesce their efforts to integrate physical and cognitive exercise systems into a single solution for enhancing the ability of the elderly to live independently. The LLM system will incorporate elements of environment and health monitoring systems, along with cognitive exercise software and physical exercise equipment. The project will include an extensive pilot testing period in Austria, France, Greece, Spain, and the UK. It is expected that over 750 users will participate in the program. The pilot will be deployed in various settings, including home environments, day care centers, and formal care facilities.

The LLM project is scheduled to be completed over the course of the next 30 months. It will include efforts to test not only the technology and related procedures for use, but also the effectiveness of the solution for the users as gauged by pre-pilot and post-pilot medical screenings and assessments as well as detailed user feedback on the product. Each pilot will be conducted within a framework established by relevant national laws and regulations, but will also align to standards and procedures developed for the project ranging from technology use and training, data collection and reporting to ensure data quality, and the ethical conduct of the pilot.
