These mishaps could be avoided with simple measures. DAPAS will include home safety features to avoid accidents in the homes of older adults. Involved carers are be included in the process. The aim is to promote the independence of the older adult and to give a feeling of security to the elderly adult and the involved cares. Hence, the stress of involved care is clearly reduced.

Those difficulties restrict their ability to perform self-care. Problems in doing daily living tasks arise for many reasons and are closely linked to other health problems. DAPAS will help to maintain the older adult functions as independently as possible so that people with need for support care can stay at their homes as long as possible. Additional DAPAS allows the involvement of older adults in planning their care. DAPAS can detect the wellbeing and vital values. Involved carers can define limits for the respective vital values and can monitor the values over a period of time. The wellbeing detection allows people with need for support care and their involved carers to exchange their wellbeing and communicate with each other. DAPAS can help manage the daily task and organise exercises. This management can avoid the mental stress for people in need of care and their involved carers. DAPAS can support the mental health for people in need of care with mental exercises and by doing memory work.  With this features, DAPAS wants to enable people with need for support care to stay active at their homes.
