Gerontechnology is an interdisciplinary field of scientific research in which technology is directed towards the aspirations and opportunities for the older persons. Gerontechnology aims at good health, full social participation and independent living up to a high age, be it research, development or design of products and services to increase the quality of life.

 

Gerontechnology lives at the crossroads of advancing technology and advancing age. Good health is of great importance to all older persons and increasingly so with progressing age. The International Society for Gerontechnology encourages the development of gerontechnology.
