The project investigates cultural influences on ICVA acceptance and use among older adults and develops a cultural-based ontology guided by Persuasive System Design to drive personalization. It will evaluate data sources (interactions, sensors, networks), address privacy and security, and combine ontology and AI to build PETCOS, a system that delivers culturally tailored personalization to support aging in place.
