Towards developing an Assistive Technology evaluation framework

This document, titled "DEVELOPING INDICATORS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGIES ON ICT FOR AGEING WELL," presents the major findings of the Exploratory Workshop held in Brussels in October of 2009.

The workshop was created to gather professionals to help define good practices and recommendations for future research in the area of Quality of Life improvement, economic impact and Assistive Technology indicators. A major contribution came from participants in the pilot projects for ageing well launched under the
European Commission's CIP ICT Policy Support Programme, including ISISEMD. The purpose was to develop a framework to gather solid and comparable evidence from research in order to influence policy, investment channels and for a wider deployment and uptake of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions.
