SocialTV, a Simplified Digital Platform to Connect and Support the Elderly

SocialTV turns any TV into an easy-to-use tool for calls, reminders, and interactive content

SocialTV converteix qualsevol televisor en una eina fàcil d’utilitzar per a trucades, recordatoris i contingut interactiu

SocialTV is a technological tool that brings physical, psychological, and emotional care to the elderly through the television, an accessible device that is part of their daily lives. The tool leverages this channel to provide personalized care without requiring prior technological knowledge or the need to leave home.

Through a simplified remote control, elderly users can intuitively access different functionalities: video calls with family members, viewing photos and videos, accessing an activity calendar, and participating in audiovisual workshops designed to stimulate cognitive and physical abilities with the support of various professionals.

The system connects the elderly person, their family members, and the social professionals from the municipality or organization that runs the initiative. Professionals can schedule regular video calls, manage personalized content, and conduct workshops to promote the emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being of the users. At the same time, family members can collaborate by sharing audiovisual memories and helping organize the user’s agenda.

SocialTV improves the quality of life of elderly people and promotes closer, more personalized care with the aim of combating unwanted loneliness. Thanks to its ease of use and person-centered approach, it promotes digital inclusion and the overall well-being of the elderly.
