Tecnologías de la información y la comunicación para la vida independiente

Independent living policies, especially for older people, are being endorsed by recent initiatives at European level. In particular, the programme i2010, promotes research on what ICT can do for independence in the ageing society. This book chapter, to be published by the Vodafone foundation, highlights the sociological aspects of independent living across the EU and the activity models for older people identified by recent European studies. It also elaborates on technological trends and developments that are relevant to independence and activity and highlights the potential of emerging technological paradigms, such as Ambient Intelligence and Convergence of technologies, in helping to achieve a more inclusive society.
