A consultation inviting citizens, businesses and researchers to share
ideas on how best to use information and communications technologies
(ICTs) to help older Europeans live more independently, and more
generally to establish new ways to put ICTs at the service of the most
vulnerable members of society, has been launched by a high-level panel
established to advise the European Commission on the functioning of the
Ambient Assisted Living joint programme
(AAL JP). The panel is chaired by former European Commissioner Meglena
Kuneva. The public consultation is the first step towards meeting the
target of doubling the take-up of independent living arrangements for
the elderly by 2015 set by the Digital Agenda (see IP/10/581).

The consultation runs until 1 July 2010.
