The reduction of the older people’s self-sufficiency and the increase in the need for help in daily

activities has a significant impact on the person and their caregivers. The primary objective of the GUARDIAN

project is to enable the older people to live as long as possible at home, by means of the GUARDIAN socio-

technical platform.

Methods: and Analysis: The GUARDIAN platform consists of two connected apps: one dedicated to the caregiver

(Caregiver App) and one dedicated to the older people (Senior App), plus a robot (Misty II), to provide coaching

in an engaging modality. The study is designed as a technical feasibility pilot to test the GUARDIAN system on a

group of older people.

Discussions: The proposed solution reflects the real wants and needs of the older people person, increasing the

acceptability of the system. In addition, the GUARDIAN project has the potential to have distinguished two

phases of testing, so that changes can be made to the platform between the first and second phases, using data,

both qualitative and quantitative, collected after the first phase
