As the number of elderly mounts, the number of\navailable or appropriate caretakers diminishes, the healthcare and social systems need\nincreased financial and human resources. In the same time, the people are more and more\naccustomed with the use of digital technology and eager to use it in order to be better\ninformed and empowered regarding the management of their own health, to have broader\naccess to customized health services and, last but not least, to integrate it in their everyday\nlife for preserving as much as possible a healthy, independent and active life apart from an\ninstitutionalized environment.
