The SeniorWatch study aimed at better understanding the market dynamics of Information Society Technology (IST) products and services relevant for older (and older disabled) people. Various research methods were applied:
a European-wide survey of some 10.000 citizens aged 50 years and over· a Europe-wide survey of 500 decision makers in organisations providing home care
case studies illuminating best practice with regard to IST applications with relevance for older people
country reports analysing the influence of national policy environments on IST uptake with particular reference to older people
technology watch activities illustrating technology trends relevant for the target group in question.
A particular focus of the study were the interest, experience and expectations of older people with respect to eHealth services and applications. For comprehensive empirical data, visit the web site of the project.
