Title  |  AI in agingcare anywhere: bringing technological advances to rural areas 

As populations age, technological advances in general, and AI in particular, bring new solutions to improve the quality of life of aging people anywhere in the world. However, social, economic, and cultural differences have a huge impact on how these advances are implemented and democratized in different places. In this talk, we will discuss the specific case of AI for aging care in rural regions like Extremadura in Spain or Alentejo in Portugal. Two case studies will be used to extract lessons that can be applied to other domains or regions. First, we will analyze ACHO an offline voice assistant, initially designed to provide drug intake reminders. And second, we will discuss the use of feature selection techniques in regression problems applied to the functional profile of aging adults.
