Project
HELP Healthy Lifestyles for Elderly People
This is a European Level Project which aims to empowering older people in Europe to adopt healthy lifestyles which include a healthy diet, physical activity, and social participation.
HELP aims to develop the quality and cost-effective-ness of services for older people by promoting cooperation between service providers and recommendations on communal elderly services.
While the aims of preventative health care and active ageing are widely recognized, there is still a lack of knowledge and skills how to efficiently prevent health problems and exclusion of older people considering the wholeness of a person. HELP answers to this challenge by developing tools for supporting healthy lifestyles and active citizenship of older people.
The e-Learning Platform
The creation of a HELP platform for elderly people aim becoming an innovative method to acquire, develop, find out, share good practices and learn cooperatively as well as to share materials with European elderly people to enlarge its possibilities of mobility and insertion in a different culture.
This will be a platform which will integrate different complementary elements:
- ✔ An on-line open network for elderly people where they can to learn to control the risks of their health and to maintain their healthy lifestyles.
- ✔ A system to gather all existing resources on the Internet, differentiated by type of healthy care.
- ✔ An on-line chat to share experiences, doubts, or everything they need at the moment.
- ✔ A tutoring and consulting system on-line.
