By vaccinating either for flu, shingles or pneumonia you are helping the elderly to avoid hospital admissons, living healthier lives independently and avoiding costly unnecessary complications in amy pre-existing morbidities.
The UK has seen a successful roll-out of national vaccination schemes through community pharmacies over the past five years and the outcomes have been so good, the governmenthave renewed the clinical contract.

Greece has more than 277 islands. 200 small islands don’t have any physiotherapy care coverage. The aim of this proposal is the reduction of inequalities in health status and the principle of equal access to health care based on need. We should deliver rehabilitation services over telecommunication networks and the internet.
Tele physiotherapy can deliver therapy to people who cannot travel because the patient disability or because of travel time. Physiotherapists will engage clinical consultation at a distance.
The visual nature of rehabilitation limits the types of rehabilitation services that can be provided. It is most widely used for neuro-rehabilitation for children’s and elderly. The program should support research and the development of tele-rehabilitation application motion technology, mobile app and physiotherapists education.

Batteries in cars and trucks, are only recycled to a modest extent (except for the lead and electrode metal). Many elderly people living in rather flat terrain would see their mobility vastly increased if they could get around, but are deterred by the very high cost of electrical scooters. Municipalities give sometimes subsidies, but they are small due to the same high cost reason. The solution is to allow the recycling departments and sites of clusters of municipalities, collect car / truck batteries to refurbish them ( a simple chemical process with in some cases electrode replacement) , and redistribute the revamped batteries to elederly. These could then buy a new or used electric scooter at 60 % of full commercial costs, and get from the municipality's recycling dept. a free battery (and possibly a spare !). The cost of battery recycling can be born by the income generated by the recycling sites .

Everywhere megapoles attract active people in their "good years", emptying the country side of young people. Seniors would pay less for housing , and have a better life closer to nature, if tax measures gave incentives to their moving to the country sides in Europe. In this way rural ecosystems would be revitalized. This can be done easily by giving a time limited discount (say 5 years) on property taxes to seniors relocating from towns (>100 000 h) to rural communities . This can be controlled by a change in legal domicile

We have developed a unique Wellbeing Monitor that is particularly appropriate for those who forget or refuse to wear pendant alarms. Studies indicate that 8% Always, 60% Usually and 32% Never wear their pendants. It is designed to indicate the risk of hypothermia, malnutrition and dehydration, as well as help to detect unattended falls.
It also enables family and careers be more socially involved with the person and identify declining capacity early.
The system consists of three components:
- A tamper proof Smart Power Socket that contains various sensors including movement & temperature, along with its own internet connectivity. This replaces an existing power socket in the kitchen of an elderly person living alone. A kettle and/or other regularly used item is plugged into the Smart Socket in the usual manner.
- Predictive Modelling Software determines if Activities of Daily Living (ADL) are taking place as usual, or not, based on sensor readings from the Smart Socket.
- A Smartphone App provides a simple colour coded indication of Wellbeing; the ability to drill down to see details of any changes; and the ability to push notifications to a response centre or other carer.

TRAVELABILITY – TOURISM FOR ALL. WE TRY TO GO BEYOND.
Holiday tours that overcome all obstacles
Live the dream of an exclusive holiday with the best safety measures and medical care guaranteed. Tell us about the journey you've always wanted and we will take care of the rest.
On January 21st 2016 Consorzio CoRi organized at Florence the meeting "Tourism for All. We try to go beyond”, which showed that just in Europe, over 100 million people might be interested in non-traditional forms of tourism.
Particularly, elderly and people with disabilities frequently give up to organize a travel due to the fear of not finding the assistance which they need; for these reasons they usually do not use the traditional tourism forms and seek new solutions to travel and to live out their holiday moments with complete serenity.
Ignoring their needs and the answers that can be given to their demands would mean removing a significant portion of the population that has the right to fully enjoy their holiday dream – said Riccardo Romano, Chairman of Consorzio CoRi.
The United Nations have announced 2017 as the "International Year of Sustainable Tourism" and Consorzio CoRi, in view of this deadline, has launched an innovative service in partnership with Beyond and CapViaggi: Travelability.
The primary goal is to offer travelers with special needs a safe and memorable holiday. For the duration of their stay, guests will be looked after by specialized care assistants and a knowledgeable tour guide. In order to provide a service of personalized healthcare, a team of experts will be available for the duration of trip. Assistance, diagnostic tests, checkups and medical care are guaranteed 24 hours a day so health issues are no longer an obstacle to an unforgettable holiday in Italy, and in particular in Tuscany.
Thanks to this service, we are able to guarantee in a hotel room in Tuscany the same healthcare that the elderly or people with disabilities would have at home. Looking at their medical records, we can plan the best kind of assistance and tourist routes to enable them to fully live their dream. Everything is organized to provide an unforgettable stay, making the experience original, all in complete safety – said Fabio Cacioli, Senior manager of Beyond.
Travelability intends to respond to the issue of accessibility and, at the same time, a similar service is also reflected in terms of positive impact on the entire economic system and cultural territory: the arrival in our country of a new flow of tourists allows to increase new opportunity of jobs.

Purpose This project over €1,5M is part of the French Retirement and Occupational Health Insurance Agency of Languedoc Roussillon (Carsat LR) ageing risk prevention policy. It aims to support, through the Regional Institute of Ageing, pre-retirees and retirees who live independently and have been identified at risk of frailty on a social or health level. The purpose is to increase legibility as well as technical and financial access to innovations for vulnerable people who are remote from the digital era, through a multiservice user-friendly platform. It intends to provide information and digital service at the right time to the right person. Method Launched at the end of 2015 and renewed in 2016, the project already rallies over 16 actors of the Silver Economy currently developing personalised ICT tools to improve the safety and comfort of seniors as well as the coordination between health and social care. The objective is threefold: developing new adapted technologies (liaising digital notebook, home sensors, and interconnected objects), having them evaluated by retirees and professionals and making them accessible to the ICT web platform which will provide tutorials, prices and collect opinions from users and professionals. Results & Discussion 500 Carsat LR retirees will be testing these new devices and solutions which will be provided to them without charge for two years. This will foster users' access to digital social innovation, appreciation of profit made in accessing comprehensive and appropriate information, coordination of caregivers and professionals as well as enjoying the use of those products (access to games, social links, customer confidence, sense of safety). It’s a unique opportunity to mobilise solutions in a structured manner, bringing together competing businesses under a consortium agreement. Advantages for these businesses include acceleration of the development and the availability of their adapted solutions as well as the possibility to test their products on the field, on a significant panel of people. Professional caregiver’s data analysis will identify seniors at risk of frailty, proposing preventive actions, local service offerings tailored to their needs.

Already many ICT solutions exist to support independent living and comfort at home. These solutions are available in a lot of ways: f.e. free of charge, premium packages, smart home systems. A lot of older people use or would like to use these solutions to connect with family and friends, follow the news, to have their health monitored, to play games or look films. When frailty occurs they want to be monitored for safety and want to have an alarm set if necessary. But, how do they manage to set up such a safe (home) system? Developments in ICT go very fast and only a few are able to catch up fully. For others who buy a new smartphone or tablet once in three years it is very difficult to know what is available, how they can get it and especially how internet/user safety is guaranteed. Also a lot of these solutions are available in English only and that is a barrier to many too. For newcomers on the ICT market it is even harder to understand how to prepare and use ICT and how your privacy and money are secured.
With the growing number of older people in Europe who want to (continue to) use ICT, many job growth chances are there. That is to have technically trained, independent and socially capable people to be hired by older people (or family) themselves or assigned by local communities or public health to install, maintain and guide older people the use of safe ICT solutions. Also job growth opportunities occur to work on internet safety and cyber security in Europe.

Elder people who are living alone have the need for somebody to remind them to do their daily duties. For example to remind their appointment with the doctor, to take their medicine at the proper time, to pay the utility bills, to visit the bank, to go to the theater on time, even to close the oven etc.
Most of them they are not very familiar with the computers to organize their daily duties, but they can use a classic mobile phone which can remind them their duties.
This mobile phone should be very easy and simple to operate and to put different tasks and reminders.
This “phones” could also support some basic health monitoring functions such as measurement of oxygen in the blood, blood pressure, blood glucose etc., and in case of abnormal measurements, the phone could automatically dial up a favorite number (doctor, family members, neighbor etc) , for help.

Those of us who did not grow up in the Digital Age still have considerable life (and professional) experience to input to upcoming research and project activities in relation to empowering the next generation through current research. However we do not necessarily have a good grasp of the technologies per se. My wish would be for any potential development (particularly eHealth / mHealth / telemedicine - my particular area of experience and interest) to have both a non-specialist description and hypertext links to new technologies, expresssed in similar levels of lanuage. As potential end-users we will be able to interpret and then offer functional observations /views of the proposed (emerging or near-market) solutions to be offerred to our community.

Seniors have specialized and well honed skills that have been perfected and have sustained their career. You have youth that are looking for guidance and guidance when it comes to what they want in life... for the ones that have already figured out what they want... they are probably looking for a figure to gain knowledge and learn from.
Knowing this, some knowledge intensive area (law, education, etc) can be identified and can be a target group for the initial phase.

The evolution of ICT systems and the large number of R&D activities around the are of Silver Economy resulted in various solid solutions that can support the independent living of senior citizens. However, most of the products are not financially sustainable, given the high costs and the difficulty to get them subsidized by the National Health System. Due to the lack of an integrated ecosystem that can support -or even finance- deployment of such solutions, entrepreneurs are seeking for disruptive business models to address this market. Such ecosystem could consist of the public sector, local authorities, insurance companies, pharmaceuticals, etc, that will have direct or indirect benefits from the use of such solutions.
This should be considered as an opportunity to bring the above stakeholders closer and create policies that will enable the deployment of solid solutions for the Silver Economy.

Most of Europe's current housing stock is designed for a particular type of household - single person, couples without children, families, etc - and we rely on markets to match supply with need. Homes are not designed to be adapted over our life-course. But markets don't always work well and with an ageing population, we can expect to see far more older people wanting to stay in their family homes despite the fact they are too large and costly to run and not well suited to the needs of later life. Building new homes that are designed to allow spaces to be reconfigured (e.g. downsized) and re-equipped (e.g. smart home technologies, assisted living) would be a great development. It would also potentially help unlock massive underutilised capacity in the housing stock, where a growing number of large family homes are occupied by single people while there is a general shortage of homes for younger people.

There exist travel and mobility schemes for older and disabled people such as mobility passes for older people, shared taxis, door-to-door services, concessionary transport rates, etc. Such schemes are designed to overcome the barriers to mobility. There are no dedicated EU-wide schemes that improve the mobility of older people and support cross border movements. Such scheme would particular benefit residents that live close to a country border, including older cross border workers.

This is not a new idea, but it is a good idea that I would like to pick up again. In certain countries, like France, there have been some experiments in this direction, but these experiements are too few and have not become a constant social practice. The rationale is very simple. Many people who arrive to the pension moment, have still many precious energies to dedicate to work, for accompany the new employees in place and generally younger people in their workplace. Assist them in their new responsibilities, share with them their experience, give advice, if requested, on how to address the various problems and face the new challenges.
A society is impoverished if it is not able to build this process. A certain amount of money could be dedicated to stimulate the pensioners who are disposable and that the company think would be very useful.

Europe’s Silver Economy just like the older global population should be able to gain training to allow them to utilise digital technology available. Unfortunately, with an ageing society and funding cuts in adult education a bigger and bigger gaps are appearing annually in elder learners gaining the skills they need to contribute to the economy more effectively.

Time ago 2007 we presented the proposal CAST Cooperative ActivAge Support Trust. Gazelle speed plus Elephant experience. The aim was to provide young legs to expert elder people for carrying out entrepreneurial projects. It was not approved, maybe to be advanced to available IT technologies. Nowadays, the massive and easy IT use can provide the link of young-elder pairs, creating synergies when they work together.
COOPEU is an online platform for searching and matching young-older entrepreneurs and startups, and entrepreneurial proposals and projects. A set of local/nationals European network of incubators/accelerators will act - helping, supporting, training, … - as tutors/mentors the young/older entrepreneur to form the team, develop the business plan, scale up and internationalise the startup, reach financing, prototype the idea, etc.

Digital solutions (e-health apps and devices, digital platforms, etc. etc.) can indeed contribute to prevent social isolation, improve health and general well-being of older people, especially for those with reduced mobility.
However, providing the solutions themselves will not be enough, because many older people lack the necessary skills to interact with and through digital technologies. Therefore, any technical solution should be accompanied with related trainings to equip the target group with those skills and make sure that they can take full advantage of the solutions. Telecenters (public enters where people can use computers and Internet) around Europe and similar organisations have done tremendous work in empowering older people to participate in the digital world. Some examples are: Get Online Week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x08-ans13ek in UK, IT-guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOvdGtULJ_Y in Sweden, Silver Surfers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv2YHC0Ai3I in Serbia, e-participation day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5dS42j6-HE in Lithuania). These centers are places where older people feel welcome, less intimidated, where trainings are made for them and with them, tailored to their needs.
A particularly successful approach is the intergenerational learning where young people teach the elderly digital skills and they teach them life skills in return. This approach increases mutual understanding and tolerance and puts each individual in both roles at the same time – that of learner and that of mentor.
