abstract

  • Aging is a global phenomenon that takes place in a person’s physical and social contexts. As people age, interpersonal relationships diminish, making the adult population more vulnerable to loneliness and social isolation. Risk factors that can trigger poor health and premature mortality in old age. Intergenerational and mentoring relationships are two initiatives that together provide answers to some of the needs of a community that must actively age. The platform proposed in this work seeks to offer the possibility of intergenerational encounters and mentoring. Promote the culture and training of the elderly, through a website created based on the real needs of users and designed by an interdisciplinary team.
