Why digital seniors?

In today’s digital society, elderly people represent a vulnerable group due to the lack of skills and information.

The share of people in the 65 – 74 age group with at least basic digital skills is only 11% in Slovakia, the EU average in the same age group is 24%.

"How to maintain the motivation of trained seniors to continuously use a digital device?"

The Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatization of the Slovak Republic, with the project Improving digital skills of seniors and distribution of Senior tablets, educates elderly people in face-to-face training in the digital skills and provides successful graduates with digital devices.

Current challenge

How to help a senior to navigate the world of useful applications and the possibilities that applications offer him

Creating a solution to clarify and simplify the world of applications for seniors

Popularization of e-services in a language comprehensible to a senior citizen

Creating a solution that will be comprehensible for seniors in order to popularize basic e-services that seniors could use in everyday life.

Examples of expected solutions

Výhercovia

1. miesto: Pishkotky

Marianna Szarková, Marko Tomčík, Jozef Švagerko

Opis riešenia:
“PWA – Celky sú v appke implementované formou gamifikovaných testov, ktoré môžu študenti vypĺňať týždenne. V appke je implementovaný aj súťažný faktor formou skórovania a porovnávania sa v triede. Implementácia – najvhodnejšia cez zriaďovateľov SS, keďže je to najplošnejšia možnosť onboardovania najviac používateľov.”

2. miesto: DEKK Inštitút

Pavol Kosnáč, Ján Pastorek, Michal Gačko, Dagmar Wikarská

Opis riešenia:
“Zostavili sme chrome extension v podobe “analytického švajčiarskeho nožíka, ktorý kombinuje rôzne ukazovatele dôveryhodnosti webovej stránky (od počtu citácií a zdrojov, na ktoré sa web odvoláva, cez počet zdieľaní a krajín, v ktorých sa web šíri, po API pre sentiment analysis na základe Big-5 personality metriky využívanej psychológiou osobnosti a ďalšie dáta).

Citácie a kde sa weby šíria je užitočné aj pre člena verejnosti či novinára, ďalšie ukazovatele sú užitočné napr. pre štátnych úradníkov a analytikov.”

ROP_2362
3. miesto: Incidental Minds

Boris Brnčal, David Vereš, Maťo Vančo

Opis riešenia:
“Riešením je zmysluplná, zároveň zábavná digitálna hrá v 3D priestore, v ktorej v roli editora revidujete pravdivosť novinových článkov pripravených externými novinármi miestneho médiá a rozhodujete o ich publikovaní.

Politická nálada v meste sa mení aj nezávisle od vašich článkov, tie však napomáhajú zmene jej tendencie. Na konci hry dostáva hráč vyhodnotenie aký režim by v jeho meste vyhral – demokratický alebo autokratický. A teda vyhodnotenie ako úspešne identifikoval dezinformácie.”

“Hackathon predčil naše očakávania. Mali sme tu oveľa viac hackerskych tímov ako býva na hackathonoch zvykom. Už 5 až 8 tímov dokáže priniesť veľmi kvalitné riešenia. Teraz sme mali 12 tímov. 9 ľudí nešlo domov a dokonca ani späť! Myslím si, že veľa tímov si prinieslo dobré základy, samozrejme, teraz nastáva tá najdôležitejšia časť, implementácia víťazných riešení.

Našou úlohou, ako inovačného startup centra, bolo priniesť kvalitných hackerov, dizajnérov, kodérov, študentov, idea makerov na jedno miesto a vytvoriť hodnotné riešenia. Našu úlohu sme splnili. Už teraz sa teším na ďalšie hackathony v spolupráci s MIRRI. Poďme ukázať, že vieme kvalitne využiť či už európske, alebo lokálne peniaze z rozpočtov.”

“Som veľmi šťastná za nás mini team. Spoznali sme sa v deň hackathonu. Jožo aj Marko mali drive. Sami už vyhrali niekoľko hackathonov a pravidelne sa zúčastňujú takýchto súťaží. Pre mňa osobne to bolo niečo nové. Vedela som, že musím byť na prezentáciu “fresh” a porote naše riešenie predať. Preto som išla medzi piatkom a sobotou spať. Chalani ostali celú noc, “nakódili” MVP appky a ďalšie navrhované features a vyšlo to. Možno pomohlo tých pár hodín spánku doma v posteli, s kombináciou “hustlenia” celú noc v coworku. Sme mega šťastní”
