REPORTS AND STUDIES

Market barriers to ICT for independent living and active ageing -
Preliminary Findings

http://www.ict-ageing.eu/?page_id=246
12 January 2009

An ICT & Ageing study, launched by the European Commission in the beginning
of 2008, has issued its preliminary findings. The main goal of the study is
to identify and understand the market barriers which currently hinder
uptake of ICT for independent living and active ageing in Europe. For the
first time, the study looks into the situation prevailing in 14
representative EU Member States as well as the USA and Japan with regard to
the deployment situation of relevant ICTs and policy/market response
respectively. It will identify and analyse good practice and show how
Europe can learn from the experience in individual countries. This research
endeavour will continue until the end of 2009.



Regards,

Dónal.
