No. of pages: 62

This report explores the technological innovations designed with older adults (age 65+) in mind, and for medical and social practitioners (caregivers, nurses and other healthcare professionals).

Six main categories of technology that can help make seniors' daily lives easier have been distinguished. An analysis of the economic impact and expected take-up rates is also included, along with a detailed look at how each of the players is positioned along the value chain.

The main unanswered questions today relate to:


  • Whether seniors and caregivers will embrace these solutions;

  • The economic value-added of these solutions;

  • And the right business model for these technological solutions (notably in terms of their financing).
