IWAAL promotes the collaboration between researches in this area concentratingefforts and detecting quality of life, safety and health problems of elderlypeople at home. For that, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)have to be applied to accomplish people’s independence in this environment.Also, others contexts like hospital or day centres have to be considered.Finally, proposals for supporting families and caregivers activities are veryimportant for this workshop.10th – 12th June, 2009 – Salamanca, Spain
