The design of a specific service related to loneliness assumes particular relevance for the quality of life of elderly people, because this feeling favorites a large number of pathologies and disabilities status. Since a very dangerous element for this condition is represented by the worsening of and decrease in the network of human relationships, a service able to provide suggestions to the users in a specific context, a condominium, is here presented. The innovative idea is a study of an automatic tool that is able to make a decision as to the best suggestion for a specific user, depending on what both she and other people are doing.

Abstract
The design of a specific service related to loneliness assumes particular relevance for the quality of life of elderly people, because this feeling favorites a large number of pathologies and disabilities status. Since a very dangerous element for this condition is represented by the worsening of and decrease in the network of human relationships, a service able to provide suggestions to the users in a specific context, a condominium, is here presented. The innovative idea is a study of an automatic tool that is able to make a decision as to the best suggestion for a specific user, depending on what both she and other people are doing. The service is not at a personal level, but at the level of a network of people: this implies a different approach also for the adaptation, because different adaptations must necessarily work together. A preliminary interface for tablet is available.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
