Abstract

The following article looks at technology development from a gerontological perspective as an important contribution to an age-friendly culture. In the context of current findings regarding living situations, care preferences and technology acceptance of elderly people the possibilities of supporting an independent lifestyle at home through sensor technologies, information and communication technologies as well as tele-medicine are illustrated. The following text shows the potentials of technology development for the care and support of people with dementia. These lie in building up cognitive reserves, early diagnostics and activation, but also in the advancement of participation and quality of life. Especially important is the possibility to shape one’s own life, which, as a central human need, should be accounted for.
