BACKGROUND
This Forum is to find appropriate digital solutions to solve the issues on ageing society by ICT. Especially this Forum will focus on the “Smart Silver Innovation” including ICT applications, emerging technologies, healthcare and capacity building sectors. The Forum is also to examine and improve the level of awareness on ageing society for all generations. Through APECTEL project on “ICT applications for people with special needs” from 2012 to 2019, we have already obtained the fruitful results, knowledge and several recommendations. Therefore, by utilizing the results, we would like to continue to implement this scheme from theory to practice with open innovation.
OBJECTIVES
The goal is to establish the society which implements with “Smart Silver Innovation”. We will work together among APEC Economies, on implementation in the relevant fields and transfer of solutions models to other economies which will be suffered from the ageing issues in near future. Moreover, the most important thing is that we share knowledge and experiences on emerging technologies which can be utilized to the ageing issues among APEC Economies. Based on the results of previous activities, this Forum will be expanded to all generations related to the ageing society and also contribute to the digital society. Population ageing has profound implications for many facets of human life. An ageing population will affect everything from economies, labor markets to health and social care. Therefore, this Part 2 session will be more meaningful to suggest the solutions for the convergence between ageing and digital societies after COVID-19.
