Our society model is permanently evolving: the digital era, the information society, the knowledge society... Ignoring these changes implies to get out of the way. It is difficult for anyone to keep the pace of this evolution but there are some social groups with special vulnerabilities that make them the perfect victims of progress. Elderly and impaired people belong to such category and the risk is getting excluded from the current ways of being involved and active in social relationships.

 The Naviga Project will achieve its objetive by providing integrated and practical tools and services to the target groups. These tools and services are explained in another section but basically embrace these areas:

• A common framework for the development and deployment of services
• A hardware device specially adapted to ease communications and handling of devices
• A social network service
• A mind training service
• An adapted navigator
• A healthcare service, related to treatment management

The services provided are a practical implementation of the Naviga capacities but the purpose of the framework is to give the Consortium the resources to rapidly build and deploy new ones thereby coping with present and future demands.
