EU-27 citizens > 65 years will be about 103.2 millions and > 80 years will be 29.3 millions in year 2020 (DG ECFIN /Ageing Report 2012)Mobility is defined as the ability of an individual to purposively move about her environment. Mobility limitations, or Reduced Mobility, are impairments in movement and affect between one third and one half of adults age 65 or older. Mobility is an important predictor of Quality of Life (QoL) among Elder Persons and a measure of successful aging (www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0197457217302057). Assistive Technologies (ATs) offers products, resources, methods, strategies, practices and services that promote the functionality of Persons with Reduced Mobility, aiming at their autonomy, independence, QoL and social inclusion. Its development and deployment can be considered an attempt to neutralize the barriers caused by the Reduced Mobility and related disability (Assistive technology and its relationship to the quality of life of people with disabilities. Rev Ter Ocup Univ São Paulo. 2017 Jan.-Apr.;28(1):54-62.)ERMAT is launched with the main objective of increasing the competences (attitudes, knowledge, skills) of Elder Persons with Reduced mobility, Informal Caregivers and Professionals on the application of Assistive Technologies for improving their Quality of Life.Specific objectives:- To promote sense of self-care and care supported by ATs - To inform about available ATs and their application to the specific needs of EPRM- Create awareness and trust about the importance and possibilities of using ATs for improving QoL of EPRM, increasing their autonomy and community participation. - To create digital and technological skills, which allow EPRM and supports to properly exploit ATs- To create an e-learning environment that could facilitate the access of EPRM to the training contents- To involve Informal Caregivers, Professionals and other Elder Persons as Peer-Supports that will support those EPRM that are not able to directly attend to the training activities.Through the execution of this Project the next results will be obtained;- Co-Created Methodological Guide (I.O.1) will be developed, involving the direct participation of End Users, with the main objective of determining the key contents, methodologies and tools needed for creating and improving the critical competences of Elder Persons with Reduced Mobility (EPRM), Informal Caregivers and Professionals on how to apply Assistive Technologies (ATs) for improving their Quality of Life (QoL)- Training Materials (I.O.2) addressed to EPRM, Informal Caregivers and Professionals on how to apply Assistive Technologies (ATs) for improving their Quality of Life (QoL)- Designed Practical Training Activities (I.O.3); They will be the core of the Training Program and they will include the design of Face-to-Face and Online Sessions and will be based on Group Dynamics and, specially, Practical Activities, to be implemented with the common participation of EPRM, informal caregivers and professionals where they will be directly trained in how to exploit available ATs for improving their mobility and QoL through putting into practice methods and tools during the Training Activities, both in institutions and homes- Development of an e-Training Platform (I.O.4), for supporting the implementation of the Training Methodology, including Training Materials, Workspace and link to applicable ICT/Assistive Technologies Tools.- Creation of 7 SUPPORT UNITS in the members of the Consortium in order to ensure the sustainable exploitation of the project after the project lifetime.- Implementation of 6 Multiplier Events on the application of Assistive Technologies for improving the Quality of Life of EPRM on each country addressed to stakeholders that could multiply the impact of the project- Development of Dissemination Actions addressed to the European collective related to Elder Persons. VALIDATION PILOT ACTIONS will be implemented involving 120 persons (20 in Romania, Spain, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany and Greece) including EPRM, Informal Caregivers and Professionals for validation of the project results.Impact of Validation Actions during project lifetimeIn the short term, the project will increase the competences of 120 persons, including Elder Persons with Reduced Mobility (EPRM), Informal Caregivers and Professionals (20 in Romania, Spain, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany and Greece) through their participation in the validation actions of Training Materials, Designed Practical Training Activities and e-Training Platform.Impact of Dissemination Actions during project lifetimeIn the short term 3.000 Elder Persons with Reduced Mobility (EPRM), Informal Caregivers and Professionals (500 in Romania, Spain, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany and Greece) will be aware, through multiplier events and dissemination actions to be carried on through the project website, newsletters, leaflets, etc…
