ABOUT CARE 2020 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Life expectancy horizon is in continuous growth, with an arising
socio-economical needs of supporting the aging population. If this is
stimulating a considerable research effort in the ICT field, there is
a big gap between the complexity of available ICT devices and the
needs of fragile individuals.

Positive Technology (PT) is a new paradigm investigating how ICT-based
applications and services can be used to foster positive growth of
individuals, organizations, and society. It refers to technologies
designed for improving the quality of personal experience with the
goal of increasing wellness, and generating strengths and resilience
in individuals, organizations, and society.

PT could be framed in the wider notion of Ambient Assistive Living
(AAL) while focusing on the holistic wellness of people, taking into
account the cognitive, emotional and social wellbeing. Thanks to the
advances in sensor technologies, and scientific findings, this field
is in rapid growing and its application for monitoring and promote
elderly wellbeing has become a concrete possibility.

CARE2020 aims at bringing together the most recent advances of
Intelligent Systems for PT and elderly wellbeing.
