LeadingAge Hackfest and Convention: Experience Report + Winning Idea Demo

The "LeadingAge Hackfest" was a 24-hour competition in which we gathered in interdisciplinary teams to develop a prototype and a business plan for a technology-driven tool aimed at improving the lives of older adults and their families. My team, Global EngAge, was the final winner of the competition! :-)

This presentation is a report about the experience + demo of the prototype, framed in the scope of my research about Technology for Active Ageing.
