The process of population aging is a demographic and social phenomenon (Ageing Society) involving all countries in the world, both society with developed economy and society still under development (for example China is the country with the most elderly). For Instance, Italy and Japan, which hold the record for longevity of the population, are the countries in which demographic pressure is most perceived as a result of the increase life expectancy. In this perspective, technology (and scientific knowledge to them connected) have an increasingly important role in the definition of problems and opportunities that this trend prefigures: medicine, food, information and communication technologies (ICT), robotics and domotics, Artificial Intelligence, complexity sciences, and biotechnologies, in addition to its disciplinary intersections that need further exploration. These technologies must be adequate to promote the comfort and mobility of the elderly and to maximize their capacity for decision-making.
