11 From vision to research actions Vision facets VI1: Established infrastructure and networks as the base for the support of independent living by technology VI2: Assistive technology and support services that facilitate independent living AI1 AI2 Actions Monitoring Well-Being. Design, develop and integrate open and scalable sensor network environments both home-centered and human-centered, with intelligent monitoring, including new levels of security, safety, and privacy. Extending capabilities. Investigate, develop and integrate intelligent functionalities to compensate diminishing cognitive and physical capabilities and to design and develop intelligent, context-aware and self-adapting tools for personal assistance in planning and performing daily activities and facilitating societal participation. VI3: Monitoring devices and technologies supporting ambient intelligence solutions VI4: Supporting tools and environment that foster the development of technologies for independent living VI5: Advanced set of organised and commercial services aiming to enhance diminishing abilities of seniors and caring for seniors so that they can live independently VI6: Tools to ensure security, ethics, rights, and privacy on data and used services VI7: Mechanisms to increase knowledge dissemination, training and learning through sharing both for seniors and all other stakeholders AI3 AI4 AI5 AI6 RI1 RI2 Supportive Environments. Design, develop, and validate preventative and responsive interventions based on situational awareness. Establishing collaborative environments. Design and develop novel collaborative environments, combining social networking and collaborative networks of care provision stakeholders to facilitate support, companionship, and community participation. Assisting mobility. Integrate and customize methods and tools to assist mobility, including services for localization, trip planning, navigation, orientation in complex environments, driving assistance, and inter-modal transportation, focusing elderly needs. Converging Independent and Sustainable Living. Explore the alignment of ICT for Independent Living with smart grid and sustainable development technologies. Assess impacts. Promote integrative studies on the sociological, economic, ethical, and quality of life impacts of introducing services and technologies for independent living. Training for new environments. Define new community-based training programs leveraging the potential of new technology-based assistive environments.

12 Implementation Guidelines

13 Adapting for Australian Context Baseline consolidation to Australian context Confirmation of scenarios and visions Confirmation of strategic plan of RTD actions Consensus building Proposing implementation mechanisms Raising awareness and promoting stakeholder engagement

14 Benefits of roadmap Planned consensus on requirements Agreed policy direction Improved coordination of development effort Sharing of resources Benefits available to all ageing persons
