DEFINITION AND MEANING

AAL (Active and Assisted Living) refers to age-based assistive technologies that are supporting older adults and their carers. This includes concepts, products and services that are connecting innovative technologies with the social environment in order to increase quality of life for older people and support a healthy, active and independent lifestyle.

AAL technologies must fulfill the growing comfort and security needs but at the same time enhance communication with friends and family and contribute to a better integration of older adults in their social environment.
