avje starostnikov | health of the elderly 212 nitive changes, encountering special hurdles in learning about ICT, the Inter-
net, and computer science. There is a general belief that ICT can help older
people improve their lives. They encourage them to stay healthier, live longer
independently, if possible, to prevent impairment (Amaro and Gil, 2011). The
attitude of the elderly towards ICT has important implications for the develop-
ment of adapted forms of health-related ICT. New technology can make only
a few substitutes that care for the elderly and give them more feelings of inde-
pendence and security.
