Translation of "independence the elderly " (English → French) :

The AAL will promote innovation and the deployment of ICT solutions in key areas such as fall prevention (which affects more than one third of people over 65) and support for sufferers of dementia (touches more than 7 million people in the EU), with a target of doubling the take-up of independent living arrangements for the elderly by 2015.

Member States and the Commission will use the Ambient Assisted Living joint research programme, launched in 2008, to stimulate innovative ICT-based solutions for independent living and the prevention and management of chronic conditions of elderly people.

Innovative approaches in areas such as public transport, the organization of public space and the protection of borders can be envisaged. Space, offers great scope for high technology innovation over time (in particular public investors in the application of Galileo [17] and GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security), the Commission's flagship space programmes. These need to share their knowledge of the system and its scope for business with potential downstream users in the space and non-space sectors, to raise their awareness of potential space-based solutions). Transport, where the demand for energy efficiency provides great opportunities. Marine technologies and products allowing for new uses of the sea such as deep sea drill ...[+++]ing, blue biotech exploitation, offshore mariculture and renewable energies, ocean space monitoring and surveillance technologies offer promising scope. Health, which has a huge growth potential for innovative products and services (including in particular e-Health, and the provision of customized solutions to allow elderly people to continue to live independently, pharmaceuticals and medical devices where innovation can bring direct benefits to patients and improve competitiveness), or well-being and culture (for instance creative content services, which gain a new dimension with the rollout of broadband networks, allowing citizens and businesses to access all kind of creative contents such as audiovisual, games, cultural information at home and in mobility) are examples of markets where the public sector has a role to play.

The Union recognises and respects the rights of the elderly to lead a life of dignity and independence and to participate in social and cultural life.
