The SeniorWatch study aimed at better understanding the market dynamics of Information Society Technology (IST) products and services relevant for older (and older disabled) people. Various research methods were applied: a European-wide survey of some 10.000 citizens aged 50 years and over; a Europe-wide survey of 500 decision makers in organisations providing home care; case studies illuminating best practice with regard to IST applications with relevance for older people; country reports analysing the influence of national policy environments on IST uptake with particular reference to older people; technology watch activities illustrating technology trends relevant for the target group in question.
A particular focus of the study was the interest, experience and expectations of older people with respect to eHealth services and applications. Comprehensive empirical data, are available on the project web site.
