Recent research highlights the significance of active aging, emphasizing its role in enhancing the well-being of the elderly population. To effectively promote active aging and address the evolving needs of our growing global aging demographic, a fusion of technological innovation and progressive policy strategies is imperative. In response to this challenge, we introduce the D3A (Digital Assistant for Active Aging) system – a pioneering platform aimed at elevating the quality of life for the elderly. D3A focuses on optimizing interconnected facets of physical and cognitive performance. Within this framework, healthcare professionals can tailor individualized training regimens encompassing both physical and cognitive exercises, which can be experienced in both traditional and virtual reality settings. D3A leverages artificial intelligence algorithms to assess the efficacy of these exercises, providing valuable support to healthcare providers. Moreover, the platform incorporates wearable devices to monitor users’ physiological parameters, serving as crucial indicators of their overall health. Also, D3A employs blockchain technology to ensure robust security and data immutability for access control, activity logs, and health records within the application. This holistic approach to active aging promises a brighter future for our aging population, driven by innovation and evidence-based care.

Abstract
Recent research highlights the significance of active aging, emphasizing its role in enhancing the well-being of the elderly population. To effectively promote active aging and address the evolving needs of our growing global aging demographic, a fusion of technological innovation and progressive policy strategies is imperative. In response to this challenge, we introduce the D3A (Digital Assistant for Active Aging) system – a pioneering platform aimed at elevating the quality of life for the elderly. D3A focuses on optimizing interconnected facets of physical and cognitive performance. Within this framework, healthcare professionals can tailor individualized training regimens encompassing both physical and cognitive exercises, which can be experienced in both traditional and virtual reality settings. D3A leverages artificial intelligence algorithms to assess the efficacy of these exercises, providing valuable support to healthcare providers. Moreover, the platform incorporates wearable devices to monitor users’ physiological parameters, serving as crucial indicators of their overall health. Also, D3A employs blockchain technology to ensure robust security and data immutability for access control, activity logs, and health records within the application. This holistic approach to active aging promises a brighter future for our aging population, driven by innovation and evidence-based care.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
