Evolution of ICT for the improvement of quality of life

In today's society, chronic diseases are a well-known issue related to the average increasing age of a population, especially in the most developed countries. The elderly, who are often the most impaired individuals, experience a significant reduction of independence in their daily life. This, consequently, affects their psychological conditions as well as their social attitudes and relationships. Therefore, industry, academia, and government health organizations are actively investigating and testing large-scale affordable solutions to improve the overall Quality of Life (QoL) in this population.
