The document discusses IBM's vision for a wellness ecosystem that uses mobile, cloud, and cognitive technologies. The ecosystem would collect health data from sensors and mobile devices, analyze the data using cognitive models, and provide personalized lifestyle and behavior change recommendations. It would also include services for developers and data scientists, distributed data storage, and marketplaces for insights, applications, and data. The ecosystem is presented as a way to engage people in controlled lifestyle changes through end-to-end wellness use cases around sleep, reducing sedentary behavior, and aging well.

17.  As the European population ages, more support is needed with fewer hands to
cater for their needs. There is a huge market potential for Ambient Assisted Living
(AAL) solutions, but adoption is limited because they require significant resources
for implementation
 To address this, universAAL produced an open platform and a standardized
approach, making it technically feasible and economically viable to develop and
deploy innovative AAL solutions
