The first edition of the ICT4AgeingWell 2015 conference (International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Ageing Well and e-Health) organized by INSTICC (Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication) will take place from the 20th to the 22th May in Lisbon, Portugal.
The International Conference on ICT for Ageing Well and e-Health aims to be a meeting point for those that study and apply information and communication technologies for improving the quality of life of the elderly and for helping people stay healthy, independent and active at work or in their community along their whole life. ICT4AgeingWell facilitates the exchange of information and dissemination of best practices, innovation and technical improvements in the fields of age-related health care, education, social coordination and ambient assisted living. From e-Health to intelligent systems, and ICT devices, this will be a point of interest for all those that work in research and development and in companies involved in promoting the well-being of aged people, by providing room for industrial presentations, demos and project descriptions.
One of the most important contributions that ICT4AgeingWell brings about is the creation of a high-level forum in collaboration with prestigious researchers, including the conference and program chairs Markus Helfert (Dublin City University, Ireland), Andreas Holzinger (Medical University Graz, Austria), Martina Ziefle (RWTH-Aachen University, Germany), Ana Fred (Instituto de Telecomunicações / IST, Portugal), John O'Donoghue, (Imperial College London, United Kingdom) and Carsten Röcker, (RWTH-Aachen University, Germany). ICT4AgeingWell 2015 will have several invited keynote speakers, who are internationally recognized experts reflecting their knowledge on Ambient Assisted Living; Telemedicine and e-Health; Monitoring, Accessibility and User Interfaces; Robotics and Devices for Independent Living and HCI for Ageing Populations.
