Gerontechnology is a new cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary field dedicated to implementation of novel technologies in order to meet the complex needs of daily life of older people. It becomes more and more important due to the phenomenon of demographic aging that is present in Romania too.

These methods are based on information and communication technologies in order to create a safer and better-equipped home according to the needs of older people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
