We need a system which helps to minimize the onset of chronic conditions which are costly to treat and diminish quality of life, rather than one primarily directed towards the care of the sick. Innovative use of new technologies may be the only way to provide care affordably in future, and to scale that care to far greater numbers as our societies adapt to change. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) can provide a solution. More integration between the health system and life at home and work will benefit everybody, providing better, more holistic lifelong care at lower cost. 0aAssistive computer technology.1 aAugusto, Juan Carlos,eeditor.  a7bcbccorigresd4encipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccRFT  00102ddc40708R-9/5aAIISHbAIISHd2020-03-19l0o362.61 AUGp18776r2020-03-19 00:00:00w2020-03-19yRFT
