Technology and the Elderly
This report presents the work of one of a series of three studies within the FAST programme of applied technology assessments on health technologies. In this study, the technology assessment has focused on technological innovations which can contribute to meeting the needs of the elderly within the community care context. Applications of technology which can support the prolongation of the independence of elderly people in community settings are of primary interest. This report identifies the needs associated with aging in the community and explores the role of technology in meeting these needs. Four areas of need - social, medical, activities of daily living (ADL), and security - and related technological applications which bear critically on the maintenance of independence in the community care context are focused on.

Two "megatrends" of modern culture are rapid population aging and the inexorable advances in various technologies encountered by the population at large. This comprehensive volume explores the intersections of technology with aging and serves as both a primer and reference for educators, students, researchers, and practitioners. It includes concepts from the basics of gerotechnologyóperson-environment fitóto the core activity fieldsócomputer and assistive devices and their practical applicationsóto models, or prototypes for technical development and its application to everyday life. Thought-provoking concluding chapters address ethical concerns for the future as well as offer new perspectives or context to ideas and innovations explored earlier.
