SmartAging - Podcast #19 - Social Oasis
19 February 2026
The Nineteenth SmartAging Podcast, hosted by Interesting Times Gang. In this episode, Anna Eliasson introduces the Social Oasis concept developed within Work Package 1 of the SmartAging project. She explores how design can lower the social threshold in Assisted Living environments, support safe proximity, and strengthen everyday social life. Anna also reflects on the role of biophilic design, modular structures, and hygiene-first materials in creating shared spaces that feel welcoming rather than institutional; and shares how the concept will move from framework to prototype and pilot testing across the Baltic Sea Region.
