Scenarios
Slide 9

Actions
Vision facets
Monitoring Well-Being. Design, develop and integrate open and scalable sensor network environments both home-centered and human-centered, with intelligent monitoring, including new levels of security, safety, and privacy.
AI1
VI1: Established infrastructure and networks as the base for the support of independent living by technology
Extending capabilities. Investigate, develop and integrate intelligent functionalities to compensate diminishing cognitive and physical capabilities and to design and develop intelligent, context-aware and self-adapting tools for personal assistance in planning and performing daily activities and facilitating societal participation.
VI2: Assistive technology and support services that facilitate independent living
AI2
VI3: Monitoring devices and technologies supporting ambient intelligence solutions
Supportive Environments. Design, develop, and validate preventative and responsive interventions based on situational awareness.
AI3
VI4: Supporting tools and environment that foster the development of technologies for independent living
Establishing collaborative environments. Design and develop novel collaborative environments,combining social networking and collaborative networks of care provision stakeholders to facilitate support, companionship, and community participation.
AI4
VI5: Advanced set of organised and commercial services aiming to enhance diminishing abilities of seniors and caring for seniors so that they can live independently
Assisting mobility. Integrate and customize methods and tools to assist mobility, including services for localization, trip planning, navigation, orientation in complex environments, driving assistance, and inter-modal transportation, focusing elderly needs.
AI5
Converging Independent and Sustainable Living. Explore the alignment of ICT for Independent Living with smart grid and sustainable development technologies.
VI6: Tools to ensure security, ethics, rights, and privacy on data and used services
AI6
Assess impacts. Promote integrative studies on the sociological, economic, ethical, and quality of life impacts of introducing services and technologies for independent living.
VI7: Mechanisms to increase knowledge dissemination, training and learning through sharing both for seniors and all other stakeholders
RI1
Training for new environments. Define new community-based training programs leveraging the potential of new technology-based assistive environments.
RI2
From vision to research actions

Engaging stakeholders
Fifty-six people from nineteen different countries applied
Two thirds of
applicants were
male (68%)

Feedback : preliminary findings
Clearly there is a major role for Collaborative Networks in ICT and Ageing
Most voted actions involve
Collaborative environments
Collaborative ecosystems
Collaboration platforms
Participatory communities
There have been some gaps in earlier thinking that are emerging from stakeholderfeedback
climate change/energy sustainability
Legacy / cross-generations / end of life
Stakeholders agreed on the need to combine (ICT) research actions with policy-related actions
Some needs are “horizontal” to all life settings
e.g. Training, infrastructures
2

Yearnings / gropings and alignments
From autonomy to inter-dependence – the personalised individual in family and community
From virtual environments to augmenting physical environments
From ‘ageing society’ to ‘counter ageing society’
Towards joint policies on social and functional inclusion
Recognising the social determinants of health and well-being
Recognising the differing urban/rural experiences and the importance of transport and mobility
Affective design – from satisfying needs to delighting customers

Local and regional initiatives benefiting from global knowledge and experience
Focusing on implementation and bringing tangible results to citizens
Thinking outside of usual channels, structures and definitions
funding,
evidence,
regulation/framework conditions,
building capacity/skills
4 main action areas
Joining up efforts – shared visions and common targets
Bridging gaps between public & private actions and instruments
Facilitating scale-up of results – reducing complexity, fragmentation, supporting convergence
Improving framework conditions – removing bottlenecks, addressing common regulatory needs – achieving critical mass.
