Gerontechnology is concerned with research, development and implementation of specific
technologies for the purposes of the whole or sections of the elderly population. It has to do
with controlled technology, the control coming from the fields of application, in this case
from the domains in which older citizens can be served. The inherent restriction is directly
concerned with useful and pleasant applications for elderly and only indirectly with specific
engineering disciplines. The technological environment that we create should be adaptive to
the changing requirements of aging processes.
