Staying physically active, maintaining cognitive skills, staying hydrated and eating fruit and vegetables can be
challenging for people of all ages. It can be more motivating to achieve common goals through collaboration.
This idea enables elderly and their care givers, professional or informal, to set shared activity, diet or cultural goals using a set of tools appropriate for each of them; a paper calendar with stickers or an i-Phone digital application. Both are visual, use the same icons and can be shared and discussed to plan and review activities together. Individual achievements are rewarded and add up to collective re- wards that motivate them to work together towards their goals.
