In this new report, ATscale describes the enormous gains that access to assistive technology (AT) can have in health, for the community and the economy.

Ageing well with person-centred technology. Report of an International Think Tank.
This document is the result of the work of an International Think Tank on Ageing and Technology. The aim of the Think Tank was to discuss with experts from different countries in the world the challenges related to the uptake and use of “technologyenabled person-centred assistive solutions” by older adults (and their care networks), for different purposes, in particular for maintaining control over their lives, for dealing with care needs, for remaining productive and integrated members of the community, or just for personal interest.
