Over the past few weeks, I wanted to write so many articles dealing with the care of elderly people, that I seriously considered creating a blog that would tackle that sole subjet: UN estimate that by 2050, about 33% of people living in developed nation will be aged 60 or over. So companies are developing products and services to face the issue. And the outcome of their researches and creativity is quite fascinating (probably because I calculated that I’ll be, well, much over 60 by 2050).

BBC Technology published today an article about the work done inside Accenture Labs to make life smooth and bright for elderly people: detecting when they get into difficulties, anticipate health problems and to facilitate contact with their family.
