Abstract

The aging process is becoming a reality worldwide. This process affects society in many levels, including the development of new products, services and healthcare solutions. Initiatives such as the Active and Assisted Living Programme in Europe develop state of the art research and solutions to address age-related issues and serve as example to countries like Brazil, which experience an accelerated aging process and need to develop age-related solutions at an even faster rhythm.
