The International Conference, April 12- 14, 2011AAL Services in Middle and East Europe |

Dear colleagues,
The aging of human population is becoming an actual problem in Europe. Similar but specific situation is in new EU countries as well. Regarding to this fact there are new requirements arisen to assure better quality of technologies, services and care for people with limited autonomy due to health condition and/or their special needs. The producers and/or providers of the mainstream technologies and services from different areas (telecommunication, industry, IT, engineering, etc.) are improving the tools for environment control based on the principles of universal design to be usable for any end user. This is also goal of the EU project MonAMI - Mainstreaming on Ambient Intelligence in 6.FP e-Inclusion. The overall objective of MonAMI is to mainstream accessibility in consumer goods and services, including public services, through applied research and development, using advanced technologies to ensure equal access, independent living and participation for all in the Information Society. New services shall help elderly people and people with disabilities to achieve higher quality of life, satisfaction with their life conditions and with position within the society by supporting their autonomy (daily life activities, home and work environment, and preferring the home care rather than institutional care) using the ambient intelligence and development of broadband services in the Information society. This goal is covered by the AAL initiative, and MonAMI consortium joined recently this platform. General information:
