This paper describes the e-VITA project, a three-year joint European and Japanese research initiative developing a virtual coaching system for older adults. The authors report that results from the testing phase were fairly negative, though useful suggestions for future improvements were obtained, including new features and improved accuracy. A randomized controlled Proof of Concept study with 240 participants across 4 countries and a 6-month duration is planned.
