This book explores the ways in which AgeTech can contribute to
healthy cognitive aging and support the independence of people with
dementia. Technology can play a key role in supporting the health,
independence, and well-being of older adults, particularly as a
response to rapid worldwide population aging. AgeTech refers to the
use of technologies, such as information and communication
technologies (ICTs), robotics, mobile technologies, artificial
intelligence, ambient systems, and pervasive computing to drive
technology-based innovation to benefit older adults. AgeTech has
the potential to provide new ways of meeting the growing demands on
health and social care services to support people to stay healthy
and active. As such, AgeTech represents an increasingly important
market sector within world economies. The book also addresses some
of the research, innovation, and policy challenges that need to be
resolved if technology-based products and services are to fulfill
their potential and deliver real-world impacts to improve the lives
of older adults and their carers, thus promoting more inclusive
communities for the benefit of all.
