People are living longer, but the number of older adults living alone is also increasing. Today, millions of people manage their daily lives without continuous companionship, facing risks related to safety, health, and social isolation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"521\" data-end=\"665\">In this context, the challenge is no longer only about living longer, but about living better. And above all, about being able to do so at home.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"667\" data-end=\"821\">Connected to Care was created to explore how technology can be used in practical ways to improve the lives of older adults who wish to live independently.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The challenge we are addressing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"969\">Many older adults want to remain in their homes, but they often need more support than is currently available:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"1137\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1o1avsu\" data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"1008\">a fall may go unnoticed for hours<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1urxggp\" data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1074\">changes in daily routines can be early signs of health issues<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"6p1c2q\" data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1137\">lack of regular contact can increase feelings of isolation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1286\">Connected to Care addresses this balance: how to provide better support without being physically present at all times and without invading privacy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How it works in practice<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1317\" data-end=\"1390\">The project builds on a device already present in most homes: the router.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1392\" data-end=\"1637\">Using household WiFi signals combined with artificial intelligence, the system progressively learns typical activity patterns within the home and can detect meaningful deviations, such as unusual periods of inactivity or changes in daily habits.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1639\" data-end=\"1794\">When an unexpected situation is identified, alerts can be sent to family members, caregivers or support networks, enabling faster intervention when needed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1955\">This approach moves from occasional monitoring to a continuous understanding of everyday activity through a non-intrusive model that adapts to each individual.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Technology combined with social support<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2001\" data-end=\"2117\">Connected to Care is developed in collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/grandesamigos.org\/\"><strong>Fundaci\u00f3n Grandes Amigos<\/strong><\/a>, integrating two essential dimensions: a technological layer and a human layer based on social support and companionship.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2206\" data-end=\"2330\">The result is a more comprehensive model in which technology does not replace people, but strengthens their ability to care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2332\" data-end=\"2825\">The project is currently being implemented through a pilot in real households to validate an approach that can be scaled while maintaining its usefulness in everyday life. The initiative has also been recognised by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macquarie.com\/au\/en\/about\/community\/shared-value.html\"><strong>Macquarie Group Foundation<\/strong><\/a>, which has awarded funding through its international programme supporting community-focused social impact initiatives in the regions where the Group operates, reinforcing its value as an innovative use case of connectivity applied to care at home.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Social Impact and alignment with the 2030 Agenda<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2880\" data-end=\"3034\">Connected to Care contributes to improving safety at home, strengthening personal autonomy, reducing unwanted loneliness and supporting digital inclusion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3036\" data-end=\"3121\">The initiative also aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:<\/p>\n<p><strong>SDG 3<\/strong>: Good Health and Well-being<\/p>\n<p><strong>SDG 9<\/strong>: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure<\/p>\n<p><strong>SDG 10<\/strong>: Reduced Inequalities<\/p>\n<p><strong>SDG 11<\/strong>: Sustainable Cities and Communities<\/p>\n<p><strong>SDG 17<\/strong>: Partnerships for the Goals<\/p>\n<p>This approach positions digital infrastructure as a key enabler for developing scalable and sustainable social solutions capable of addressing one of today\u2019s most significant demographic challenges.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spain is facing a profound demographic shift.
