The global population aged 60 years and over is expected to almost double between 2015 and 2050 from 12.0% to 22.0%, which will directly impact countries' labor market composition and increase the economic pressure on their healthcare systems. One way to address these challenges is to promote Active and Healthy Ageing (AHA) using mobile Health (mHealth). This research aims to provide an initial overview of the width and the depth of contemporary preventive mHealth solutions that promote AHA among healthy, independent older adults (individuals aged 60 years and over). To do so, an explorative scoping review was applied to search online databases for recent studies (March 2015 - March 2020) addressing the promotion of mHealth solutions targeting healthy and independent older adults. We identified 31 publications that met the inclusion criteria. Most of them utilized either mobile (n=25) and/or wearable (n=11) devices. mHealth solutions mostly promoted AHA by targeting older adults’ active lifestyles or independence. Most of the studies (n=27) did not apply a theoretical framework on which the mHealth promotion was based. User-experience was positive (n=12) when the solution was easy to use but negative (n=11) when the participants were resistant or faced challenges using the device and/or technology. The review concludes that mHealth offers the opportunity to combat the issues faced by an unhealthy and dependent aging population by promoting AHA through focusing on older adults’ Lifestyle, Daily functioning, and Participation. Future research should use multidisciplinary integrated approaches and strong theoretical and methodological foundations to investigate mHealth solutions' impact on AHA behavioral change.

Physical decline is associated with old age. Engagement in regular physical exercises can help elderly people improve their physical functionalities, as well as cognitive abilities. Among modern technologies, digital games have the potential to promote elderly people’s engagement in physical exercises through fun and enjoyable gameplay. Although commercial digital games show promise, most of them are not senior-friendly. The literature also suggests that more studies need to be undertaken to understand the usability and usefulness of digital games for elderly people. Hence, in this study, we designed and developed a digital game-based Skiing activity for elderly people. Then, we evaluated it with the Finnish and Japanese elderly participants in Finland and Japan to investigate their feedback towards the usability and usefulness of the game. The findings from both studies show that digital games are useful for promoting elderly people’s engagement in physical activities. While digital games are promising to be used as an alternative solution for promoting the Japanese elderly participant’s physical activities, the Finnish elderly participants recommend to use it when they don’t have access to non-digital physical exercises. The lessons learned from this study can help researchers and practitioners gain insights into game design and development for elderly people and their physical activities.

Na área da saúde, o ExerGames [Santos et al 2015] utiliza a bola robótica como um dos sensores em um sistema que promove a reabilitação para idosos e vítimas de acidente vascular cerebral através de jogos. O sistema foi construído de forma a acomodar novas tecnologias e sensores e novos jogos de forma fácil: nesse contexto, existe nesse sistema uma separação clara entre a camada de nível mais alto (os jogos) e a camada mais baixa (os sensores e a comunicação).…”

Abstract. The tangible interfaces, when used to increment didactic activities, can assist the teaching-learning process. It is possible to use the Sphero, a device available in the market that has not been so explored on educational environment, as a tangible interface. In this paper, an exploratory study was conducted in a school to evaluate the possibilities of usage of this device in an educational context, aiming to understand if such activity could be fun and motivating for children.Resumo. As interfaces tangíveis, quando usadas para incrementar atividades didáticas, podem auxiliar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. É possível utilizar o Sphero, um dispositivo disponível no mercado que ainda não foi tão explorado nos ambientes educacionais, como uma interface tangível. Neste trabalho, um estudo exploratório foi conduzido em uma unidade de ensino para avaliar as possibilidades do uso desse dispositivo no contexto da educação, visando entender se tal atividade pode ser divertida e motivadora para crianças. IntroduçãoA tecnologia computacional tem estado cada vez mais presente no dia a dia das crianças. Programas para computador, aplicativos para smartphones e tablets também aparecem nos ambientes de ensino, pelo potencial de melhorar a forma como as crianças aprendem [Roschelle et al. 2000]. Além disso, as tecnologias móveis geram oportunidades de aprendizado em ambientes não-formais, como nas casas, museus, locais de trabalho e em atividades ao ar livre [Sharples e Roschelle 2010].Em novos cenários de uso de tecnologias contemporâneas, as interfaces tangíveis (TUIs -Tangible User Interfaces) possibilitam criar forma física à informação digital, embutindo tecnologia em artefatos físicos (objetos do dia a dia, por exemplo) gerando novas formas de interação [Ullmer e Ishii 2000]. As TUIs permitem que o usuário consiga interagir com informação digital através da manipulação de objetos físicos e do ambiente, ao invés de utilizar periféricos tradicionais como mouse, teclado e monitor [Ishii e Ullmer 1997]. Tais interfaces são capazes de promover um engajamento mais forte e de longa duração com um maior potencial para envolver as crianças e para promover a aprendizagem [Sylla et al. 2012]. Além disso, os ambientes de
