It is widely known today that not only are the aged ageing, or the
old getting older, but they are also increasing in number the world
over. At the same time, proper care and support for our aged is
increasingly at risk. Without some form of support, the
quantitative extension of life cannot be matched by a qualitative
one. This may mean that the opportunity provided by a longer life
is squandered, and life itself, of course, is nothing if not
opportunity. Societies find that self-sufficiency and independence
not only contribute to individual well-being, but are also
economically desirable due to the resultant increase in
productivity. The challenges of daily living for a growing
population of the aged form the basis of the independent living
platform, the AGE@HOME platform, which is described in this book.
The platform combines both existing and emerging technologies
suitable for the home. Its use and application is considered in the
wider context of Web 2.0, the internet of things, and other
elements of the burgeoning digital world. It is time that a
holistic and multi-disciplinary approach to this constantly
enlarging area of human existence is taken. This book is written
for researchers and designers of wireless tools, analog and digital
circuits as well as academics who are active in the various fields
of Human Sciences. Foreword "This book appears at the right moment
when several developments have made age and its consequences an
important element of human existence. It makes for informative
reading, being based on considerations related to independence for
the aged and the application of emerging technologies to enhance
this independence......." From the foreword by: Houlin Zhao Deputy
Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union
