The indoor and outdoor environment affects the ability of an older person to remain an active participant in society. It is clear that new technologies and improvements in transport and the built environment ave a direct impact on their health and quality of life. An accessible transport and built environment, and user friendly technologies can assist older people in carrying out daily activities as well as monitor their health, create social networks, facilitate their participation in work or volunteer activities and better ensure their safety.

AGE closely monitors the latest developments in these areas and voices the interests of older users, making sure that these advances meet the needs of older people in the current debate at EU level.
