Rationale The AAL JP covers many domains and topics where older adults might benefit from desirable ICT based solutions to improve their quality of life and independence. Now that we are at the halfway point of the AAL JP, it is therefore timely to reflect on any issues that may have been overlooked as welll as to examine what could be missing from the AAL portfolio regarding wellbeing and care for older adults with chronic conditons, including cognitive impairments. Furthermore now is the time to look into the future, e.g. the coming 20-30 years. What developments can we expect in terms of the wishes, desires and needs of older adults and how might ICT based solutions help support them? What other methodologies might be used? | |
