The Lower Saxony research network design of environments for ageing:
towards interdisciplinary research on information and communication
technologies in ageing societies
Worldwide, ageing societies are bringing challenges for independent
living and healthcare. Health-enabling technologies for pervasive
healthcare and sensor-enhanced health information systems offer new
opportunities for care. In order to identify, implement and assess
such new information and communication technologies (ICT) the 'Lower
Saxony Research Network Design of Environments for Ageing' (GAL)
has been launched in 2008 as interdisciplinary research project.
In this publication, we inform about the goals and structure of GAL,
including first outcomes, as well as to discuss the potentials and
possible barriers of such highly interdisciplinary research projects
in the field of health-enabling technologies for pervasive healthcare.
Although GAL's high interdisciplinarity at the beginning slowed down
the speed of research progress, we can now work on problems, which
can hardly be solved by one or few disciplines alone. Interdisciplinary
research projects on ICT in ageing societies are needed and recommended.
