Abstract
Loneliness and inactivity can adversely affect physical health. Encouraging older people to be active can have health benefits and reduce isolation. New approaches are needed to ensure that growing numbers of older people are able to remain active and mobile during later life. The new design of the configurable e-mobility can support older people in maintaining their independence and quality of life.
