“…Episodic memory is the memory system that captures prior experiences and uses this information to influence current behavior and plan future behavior. It is the context-bound ability to re-experience happenings from one's past, involving the ability to mentally represent a specific event and localize it in time and space (Gronlund, Carlson, & Tower, 2007). Facilitation of episodic memory was included as an objective in HERMES project because older people tend to lose track of what happened in the recent past faster than younger ones (Old & Naveh-Benjamin, 2008).…”

The HERMES Cognitive Care and Guidance for Active Aging project proposes an integrated approach to cognitive assistance, promoting the autonomy of elderly users through pervasive technology. This work aims to describe elderly people’s opinions when they are presented scenarios developed in this project. Two focus groups were organized in Austria and Spain with a view to collecting their impressions about the way in which the technological device can cover their needs; complementarily, a second session was conducted including a quantitative questionnaire. Although some participants were reluctant to use the technology, they welcomed some functionalities of the HERMES system and they considered that using them can help them to become familiar with them. Usefulness, usability, and use of real-life information for functionalities such as cognitive games are considered to be key areas of the project. This evaluation has provided the developers of the system with meaningful information to improve it and it guarantees that the system addresses elderly people’s needs.
