Prolong

PROLONG project is funded by European GNSS Agency. It involves a multidisciplinary team from four European countries with a high level of scientific and business expertise, and a large capacity for cooperation in development of innovative breakthrough technologies, applications and services.

PROLONG designs and manufactures a prototype of a device as a portable GNSS, IoT tracker to be worn as a belt, bracelet or necklace attachment, thus responding to the lack of technological solutions that can detect abnormal or dangerous walking patterns of older adults.

Throughout the project life cycle, the PROLONG team applies agile methodologies for designing field studies and conducting tests together with target users in so called co-design processes. By extracting user requirements to create an innovative and user-centred PROLONG device, the team will respond to the rapidly growing demand for Active and Healthy Ageing products and services.
