The Easierphone app provides a simple, clear home screen and easy to use apps for Android and iOS phones. To solve technical problems, Easierphone can be remotely supported by a family member. Optional monitoring of well-being and emergency protocols can provide peace of mind for older people and their families. Easierphone empowers primary users to effectively use a smartphone. This is achieved by simplifying the interface and core applications, and by enabling secondary users to remotely assist them. Comfort and well-being of both primary and secondary users are improved.

Objectives

Easierphone provides autonomy for older adults, improves their relations with family members, connects with friends, gives the satisfaction of confident smartphone use, improves mobility through better access to services, and enriches social aspects of life.

Scope

Primary users: Older people aged 65+ in EU member states, challenged by smartphone use. Secondary users: Family and friends of the primary user or professional caregiver. Tertiary users: Institutions and service providers who want to facilitate the use of smartphones for primary users.
