Emerging and currently available technologies offer great promise for helping older adults, even those without serious disabilities, to live healthy, comfortable, and productive lives. What technologies offer the most potential benefit? What challenges must be overcome, what problems must be solved, for this promise to be fulfilled? How can federal agencies like the National Institute on Aging best use their resources to support the translation from laboratory findings to useful, marketable products and services? Technology for Adaptive Aging is the product of a workshop that brought together distinguished experts in aging research and in technology to discuss applications of technology to communication, education and learning, employment, health, living environments, and transportation for older adults. It includes all of the workshop papers and the report of the committee that organized the workshop. The committee report synthesizes and evaluates the points made in the workshop papers and recommends priorities for federal support of translational research in technology for older adults.

It is predicted that by 2050, 22% of the world's population will be over 60 years of age. This rapid shift in demographics calls for the development of coherent and forward-looking policies to address the many challenges which will inevitably arise as a result. This book presents 33 articles from the workshop jointly organized by APEC and OECD held in Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, in September 2012. At this workshop, a group of international experts described a wide range of important issues associated with an aging population, and discussed how both governments and the private sector can best mobilize innovation and research to transform this global challenge into an opportunity for active and productive aging and new sources of sustainable growth. The authors call for a comprehensive approach to achieve policy coherence, as well as for strengthening public-private partnerships and promoting collaboration among multiple stakeholders and systems. The book is divided into six chapters, covering such subjects as lessons learnt from best practice, solutions for the aging society, policy initiatives, health innovation, smart communities and new services. Innovation will be necessary to meet the challenges and to mitigate the health, social and economic impacts of an aging population worldwide, as well as unlocking the potential of ICTs through increased research and new models. This book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the development of new services for older people in sectors such as health and nursing care, education and training, transportation, community development and smart cities, among others.

This study utilized the theoretical framework of selective optimization with compensation (SOC) (Baltes, 1987; Baltes & Baltes, 1990) to interpret older adults' definitions about successful aging in place. Factors contributing to successful aging in place, including the importance of social interaction and perceptions of the usefulness of interactive video communication technology (IVC) for achieving optimal levels of social interaction and successful aging in place, were also determined. Data were collected using a questionnaire, home-observation checklist, seven-day social interaction diary, and in-depth interviews. The sample consisted of 14 women and four men who were over 75 years of age and living in their own homes. The participants were predominantly white, educated, mobile, and in good health. All participants declared that they would like to continue living in their own homes as long as possible. More than two-thirds had lived for over 30 years in their homes. Three major themes emerged from this study: successful aging in place, social interaction, and usefulness of IVC for aging in place. Participants' definitions of successful aging in place included factors related to health, mobility, independence, control, solitude, affordability, comfort, and social interactions. Social interactions represented, in the respondents' opinions, a major factor for successful aging in place. The participants had an active social life, employing a variety of social communication means, from face-to-face interactions and telephone to computers. Their social activities included club memberships, church activities, informal interactions with family members and friends, and formal interactions, especially with health care providers. The participants in this study did not perceive the IVC technology as important for their aging in place in their current situations. However, the participants admitted that the IVC could be a useful tool for people with limited health and mobility to allow them to maintain social interactions and successfully age in place. The interpretation of the findings is as follows: at their actual level of activity and mobility, the participants selected particular ways of communication and optimized these means. The IVC was perceived as a compensation mechanism to be used when other communication means fail due to health and mobility problems.

Over the past few years, the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS) has been carrying out research in the field of ageing, with a focus on the role that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can play to promote Active Ageing. IPTS has looked at the issue from several perspectives, including the socio-economic and technological dimensions of both the ageing phenomenon and the Active Ageing policies that the EU is now adopting. Information and Communication Technologies for Active Ageing attempts to reflect aspects of the contribution ICT can make to quality of life for older citizens in Europe. Benefits can be found in health, employment, housing and elsewhere. The potential market for innovative solutions in ICT for Active Ageing is crucial for the European economy and for the society at large. The European Union has the opportunity to become a research and market leader through innovative applications and services for ageing. Moreover, the promotion of societal values in Europe regarding ageing can serve as a model for other ageing societies. This book is to be expected to contribute to the debates on ICT for Active Ageing and provide important hints for research in the field fostered by the European Commission's Directorate General for Information and Media.
