3 Objectives The motto of the conference is New Avenues to fill the gap between health and Welfare Demands and Effective ICT Solutions. Its main objective is to address the mismatches between Policy and Technology in order to drive investment and to enable the deployment of AAL solutions at scale. Our purpose is to attain the following goals: To provide a detailed identification of the different market barriers that currently impede AAL solutions from being deployed and used by those who really need them. To find new ways and procedures to overcome the current market barriers. To address the need to drive AAL products and solutions to being commercially available as mainstream products. To tackle the need for the design of new policies in order to remove current constraints. To analyze the real needs of potential buyers and end-users to avoid mismatches between offer and demand. The rationale behind this meeting is to address the central role that public policies and investments should play in the creation and development of a global Ageing Market. Therefore, mechanisms to guarantee a stronger liaison between these key players will be discussed in order to satisfy current social health care market demands. Investment activities will have a central position at the AAL Summit 2012, as an integral part of the plenary sessions. In addition, the parallel sessions will follow the most appropriate format to enhance the achievement of its objectives. For instance, we will include a clinical round table to portray how the use of the ICTs is a good alternative to conventional hospitalization. Participant intervention will demonstrate practical cases that improve the care of the frail elderly and people suffering from multi-morbidity, with lower costs and greater levels of satisfaction. Another example is the business corner, a session in which companies from the medical sector and other related sectors will informally discuss and share their experiences, discussing market barriers, the role of public administrations, their business plans, etc. The general objective of the Conference will be to bring to light the valuable points of view of the Investors and entrepreneurs in the AAL domain: Preliminary Conference Programme 3

4 how they face this market, how they create solid business plans, how they compete with emerging international markets such as China, Brazil, Japan, and how they innovate using the best practices from other countries such as USA, Canada and Israel, etc. Innovation should cover not only technology, but also the organizational requisites to achieve the adequate scale in sellers and prescriptors, within a context of social changes directed towards the empowerment of citizens. This new scenario would integrate the home as a care centre, changing the conventional social health care model, and enabling elderly people to become familiar with the new AAL technologies. Integrated care should be the scenario in which the citizen is the main actor, supported by AAL technological solutions covering his/her needs. It should also enable a more efficient use of funds, which is a critical issue in places where resources are scarce/limited or in those where sustainability is crucial. This is the reason why the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) plays an important role in ensuring that the health technologies involved (methods, devices and systems of organization) are properly evaluated. HTA provides information to decision makers on the health, social, ethical and economic consequences of the development, dissemination and use of such technologies. Finally, this conference will present the status and results of the Active and Healthy Ageing European Innovation Partnership. This is particularly timely given that 2012 is the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations. 4 Preliminary Conference Programme

5 What will you find at the AAL SUMMIT 2012? The AAL Summit 2012 will offer a 360º overview around ICT solutions becoming successful products and services for a global market of growing needs. It will bring together all the stakeholders concerned with this topic, such as investors, entrepreneurs, industry, innovators, health-care providers, health-care professionals, associations, social workers, formal and informal caregivers, elderly associations, medical industry, end-users (older adults and other citizens), researchers and policy makers. This conference will provide them with a unique forum in which to exchange best experiences and knowledge and to discuss the way to develop further and faster the emerging market of products and services for active and healthy ageing. By attending this event, you will be able to share experiences and discuss with professionals from all around the world the policies and strategies that might trigger the transformation of care systems and the growth of market demand. The conference is a unique opportunity to raise your profile and make connections with leaders in different health and social care contexts and to share best practices already deployed in different regions of Europe. The plenary sessions, the parallel tracks structured in different formats depending on the topics to be addressed, the network cooperation, and the thematic meetings will be an integral part of this conference. Innovative media will be used as an innovative way to connect online users with the AAL summit. The objective is to provide an insight into how entrepreneurs can work with the social networks by integrating them in their businesses. In brief, this conference will be a live event which will originate discussions and further debate on the social networks. With the conclusions arising from the conference, we will develop a declaration of 10 commandments for a Global AAL Market and Policy Development, to be signed by the attendees, which could formally be presented at the AAL Forum With this initiative we seek to launch an international network committed to the development of products and services in a global scale. Preliminary Conference Programme 5

6 The AAL Summit 2012 will be completed with an exhibition area in which all interested companies will be able to demonstrate their full range of products/services/ solutions in the AAL arena. Selection and recognition of the AAL Investors Prize: A special jury of investors will evaluate the most promising exhibitor in 3 different company categories: senior, intermediate and start-up. The name of the prize shall be discussed with the AAL General Assembly. Regional Exhibitions: We will open the possibility for regional exhibitions to achieve a broader perspective of the inspiration underlying each regional approach. For instance, the Basque Country organisations in the AAL arena would highlight the solutions provided within the Basque Strategy to tackle the challenge of chronicity. Their recognition as a pioneer region in socio-health policies is well demonstrated on the implementation of the different projects belonging to the strategy launched to transform the health care model from acute care to chronic care. 6 Preliminary Conference Programme

7 Five parallel tracks in hot topics of AAL The parallel tracks of The AAL Summit 2012 will invite participants to present and discuss their experiences from different perspectives around the development and deployment of AAL solutions and products.

This will be portrayed in a different session format, such as a clinical round table. The participants will be hospitals, medical professionals and welfare and health care professionals. Their presentations will focus on how the use of the ICTs are a good alternative to conventional hospitalization as they improve the care of the frail elderly and the multimorbidity person with lower costs and a greater satisfaction. 8 Preliminary Conference Programme

17 AAL Social Media 2012: Digital and social media approach It is our intention to upgrade the Conference with a digital dimension as a complement to the scheduled roundtables and tracks. This initiative called AAL Social Media would be integrated with the face-to face discussions in order to enrich them with the feedback provided by social networks. The digital proposal would consist of the following: A scenario to host live streaming debates and digital networks related to the topics discussed on the roundtables and tracks, with the participation of their speakers. An Operations centre, accessible and visible for the Congress assistants, to discuss with the different media representatives and stakeholders the impact of the Forum discussions on social networks and blogospheres. With this interactive scenario, we aim to facilitate a major interaction with the Congress assistants and to foster the conversation among the different stakeholders involved, such as private companies, public administration, academic and research institutions, health care providers, practitioners, etcetera.
