Resumo(s)
Ageing populations have raised specific challenges, in terms of how best to support older
adults to age-in-place i.e. to live independently
at home and in the community. This is particularly important in developing countries, many
of which are experiencing rapidly ageing populations, yet without the necessary investment or
infrastructure in health and social care. There is
increased recognition of the potential of assistive
technologies to support the everyday lives of older adults including social participation, activities
of daily living and lifestyle monitoring. This paper assesses the potential contribution of assistive
technologies in supporting older adults to age-inplace, identifying some of the cultural, organisational and institutional opportunities and barriers
to widespread adoption. The paper concludes
by identifying gaps in current understanding and
recommendations for the future development of
assistive technologies if they are to become a
more pervasive aspect of the home environment.
