“…According to the World Health Organization, 28–35% of people over 65 years fall each year. One of the biological factors associated with an increased risk of falls is the decline of physical condition that can be reflected objectively in terms of gait performance loss [ 19 , 20 ]. Monitoring the gait of older adults can provide insight to caregivers on whether a rehabilitation program is effectively improving the participants’ gait performance.…”

“…The gait analysis tool [ 19 ] adapts several algorithms to extract a set of gait spatiotemporal parameters with only one IMU located above the ankle. The main metrics of interest are stride time, swing-stance ratio, stride length, and stride velocity.…”

“…Specific digital services are designed to help professionals and improve the portfolio of services provided, reducing the overall costs and/or professional efforts. In a wide spectrum of impairments and diseases, very different and specific tools to predict heart failure decompensation, improve facial gestures, or rehabilitate specific movements [ 19 , 20 ] have shown to be very useful.…”

The population in the world is aging dramatically, and therefore, the economic and social effort required to maintain the quality of life is being increased. Assistive technologies are progressively expanding and present great opportunities; however, given the sensitivity of health issues and the vulnerability of older adults, some considerations need to be considered. This paper presents DigiHEALTH, a suite of digital solutions for long-term healthy and active aging. It is the result of a fruitful trajectory of research in healthy aging where we have understood stakeholders’ needs, defined the main suite properties (that would allow scalability and interoperability with health services), and codesigned a set of digital solutions by applying a continuous reflexive cycle. At the current stage of development, the digital suite presents eight digital solutions to carry out the following: (a) minimize digital barriers for older adults (authentication system based on face recognition and digital voice assistant), (b) facilitate active and healthy living (well-being assessment module, recommendation system, and personalized nutritional system), and (c) mitigate specific impairments (heart failure decompensation, mobility assessment and correction, and orofacial gesture trainer). The suite is available online and it includes specific details in terms of technology readiness level and specific conditions for usage and acquisition. This live website will be continually updated and enriched with more digital solutions and further experiences of collaboration.
