Within the framework of the Smart City Expo World Congress 2025, the Barcelona Open Data Initiative has presented the five best digital tools based on open data that promote healthy aging and longevity. In this line, the Barcelona Open Data Initiative has collected twenty digital tools as a result of the latest collaborative challenge that sought to identify solutions that have a real impact on the quality of life of older people, favoring their autonomy, well-being and social participation, strengthening public policies and promoting social innovation. The Barcelona Open Data Initiative promotes processes so that open data has real value in the social field and serves to improve people's lives, as well as working to facilitate entities, administrations and projects in the third social sector to use open data to strengthen their interventions and make decisions with a real impact.
In this sense, these have been the five best digital tools for healthy aging:
1. 'Psychodemus'
Developed by the Open University of Catalonia, the digital tool helps professionals and families choose the appropriate psychosocial intervention for people with dementia based on scientific evidence.
2. 'Soliguia'
Developed by the iSocial Foundation, the digital tool is a guide that centralizes the social services of Catalonia and Andorra with the aim of ensuring that no one is left behind because they do not know where to seek support and assistance.
3. 'LiveActive'
Developed by Ana Lucía Silva, the digital tool is a platform that facilitates activity, autonomy and support for people with physical disabilities with the aim of putting technology at the service of everyday life.
4. 'AiMA'
Developed by AiMA Beyond AI, the digital tool is an empathetic virtual assistant that cares, connects and accompanies older people to combat the complex, convoluted and difficult phenomenon of unwanted loneliness.
5. 'DataLabGentGran'
Developed by Natura i Salut, the digital tool offers data and visualizations to measure participation, health and aging conditions, strengthening community advocacy and prompting public planning.
