Social behaviour Healthy ageing

Social integration is a key predictor of health in later life, as is cognitive functioning. This chapter describes the evidence related to levels of and interventions on social integration and cognitive functioning for older adults and outlines how this evidence was translated into the personalized coaching approach in NESTORE in both of these domains. From the technological side, social beacons are used to obtain objective contact measures for users' local social networks and thus complement self-report information on social interactions beyond face-to-face contacts. In the cognitive domain, a serious game involving a multidomain cognitive training was developed on the basis of evidence-based game and training principles.
