WP3: the back office of the platform and the mobile application are the latest steps.

 

About the Del 4.3 STIMULATE Pilot report and recommendation document, Estelle tells to Damien that E-Seniors would like to have feedback from the coordinators on the plan sent during the summer and one week ago. Estelle distributes the plan of the Del 4.3 to the partners present at the meeting and they make some remarks that Ariane integrates in the document. Estelle will send back the Del 4.3 plan updated to Djamel and Damien asking them feedback. E-seniors will wait for validation of the plan in order to distribute the different tasks to all partners.

Presentation of current results and demonstration of implemented modules

 

o Back-End functionalities

Farid shows us the back-end office of the platform andshows us to integrate the data. We should be able to enter the data in March. Farid explains that we will have to enter only general data (activities, hotels and transport) and nothing relating to health. It will be the same for the mobile application back-end office. Farid will send us a document (for back-end office platform) to be translated by each country.

 

o Mobile application

This part is managed by Damien. He will send us soon the format in order to begin entering the data. The mobile application is only used for “on the go”.

The contacts can not be added directly from the cellphone (problem of data protection) but we could give this data while filling the profile. As the mobile application is not useful if it is only for the contacts, it should focus also for S.O.S / emergency and online tool like assurance.

 

o Back Office Platform

Regarding the back office of the platform to be filled by travel agencies and professionals: will be ready for testing and accessible at the beginning of April (the 5th) and we will have to send our feedbacks before the 12nd of April. Monday 25th of February, TUDOR will send the data template to be filled before the 4th of March.

 

 

·         Pilot Discussions

 

o Feedback workshop

EURAG and E-Seniors gave feedback and everyone talked about it. It is interesting to notice the different approach from Austrian seniors and French seniors. Austrian seem more receptive to the STIMULATE project and ICT in general whereas French are more negative. That is why E-Seniors insisted on the fact that they need real prototypes for the pilots in order to get relevant feedback.

 

About the size of the police, the seniors can pus on Ctrl+ in order to augment the size.

About the log in: the best is to let people to visit the site and ask them to identify themselves only once they find a travel offer suitable for them.

 

o Planning of test phase in different places (France, Austria)

Farid and Damien told us that the prototypes may be available a little bit later than scheduled: in May and no April. E-Seniors said that it would be a real problem because ESE can not test STIMULATE project without real prototypes and they can not organize the Giverny visit during the summer. Farid and Damien said that they will do their best to have the prototypes available in April and ESE will try to organize Giverny visit one week later.

Damien suggests realizing the first pilot with Austria because seniors seem more flexible. It is us true but it is not the same kind of pilot (France: group / Austria: individual).

 

o Steps, scheduling, infrastructure (devices, etc.)

Damien and Farid explained what can of support (PC, tablet and smartphone) must be used and/or purchased.

 

Characteristics of the hard/soft to buy:

- Exploitation System: Android 4.0

- Minimum Ipad 2

- 3G access (at least)

- The tablet should have a phone tool (Samsung)

 

ESE will buy 5 tablets and 5 smartphones.

DMMR and AFC will have 10 seniors with one couple. They need 9 tablets and smartphones. TUDOR will lend a smartphone, also CYB and AFC. Estelle will talk with Monique to see if it is possible that E-Seniors lend tablets or smartphones.

 

About the pilot in the Cevennes, AFC and DMMR propose a package « tout compris » for which each participant pay500€.
