Forget about the talking flowerpot!
‘Anti-loneliness’ technology puts people first

A wooden loudspeaker box with three buttons…
this is the user-centric solution that OCMW and its volunteers use to organize

hidden behind chatbots and dashboards.

The solution by imec, Ghent University and the City of Ghent is ready to go to market
and has huge potential for smart cities and smart health.
