Description
Ageing@Work developed a novel ICT-based, personalized system to support ageing workers (aged 50+) into designing fit-for-purpose work environments and managing flexibly their evolving needs. Advanced dynamically adapted virtual models of workers incorporated specificities in respect to skills, physical, cognitive and behavioral factors, being extended from the work context to personal life aspects interacting with workability, health and well-being. Virtual workplace models encoded characteristics of the workplace (factory, outdoor work site, home), at both physical and semantic, resource/process levels. The worker models were populated by highly unobtrusive worker sensing, both at work, at home and on the move. To foster workability and productivity, highly personalized, intuitive, age-friendly productivity, co-design enhancement tools were developed, including ones for AR/VR based context-awareness and telepresence, lifelong learning and knowledge sharing. The integrated system was developed by user-centered design and evaluated at two pilot sites, related to core Industry 4.0 processes of mining and machines production.
