This paper describes work in the EU-Japan collaboration project e-VITA in the context of Active and Healthy Ageing. The goal of the project is to prototype Virtual coaches to sustain older adults’ well-being in smart environments, develop standards and norms for interoperability, and conduct a proof-of-concept study to assess user-acceptance in real-life environments. We will focus especially on the interaction aspects enabling the users to conduct dialogue interaction with the Virtual Coach and the integration of various system components into a federated AI platform which supports the development of the Virtual Coach.
