Ecosistema urbano per l'invecchiamento attivo e in salute
Urban Ecosystem for Active and Healthy Aging
The ERMES project aims to define and implement an innovative and inclusive urbanization model that includes the creation of a residential community for the elderly equipped with intelligent services through ICT technologies. The project is integrated with the urban fabric, social context, and health services, both local and remote, and is aimed at promoting and maintaining maximum autonomy from the perspective of active and healthy aging.
ERMES proposes an urbanization model customized based on individual needs and the specific characteristics of the urban territory, providing for the creation of autonomous living spaces in the urban community of Ginosa (CS), equipped with "intelligent" products and services and shared care and recreational spaces, integrated in a socio-health model aimed at ensuring inclusion, security, wellbeing, health and assistance for the elderly population.
