Assisted Living in Europe: Promising Answers to the Challenge of Eldercare–Frost&Sullivan Briefing

Nov. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- The challenge to cope with a steadily increasing senior population in Europe is becoming more complex each day. European governments are under enormous pressure to cater to the specific needs of the older generation. Despite the general cutbacks in healthcare budgets, the concept of assisted living has garnered rising interest and shown an affirmative growth in various European countries. But does it have an answer to the questions regarding the challenges in eldercare?

In response to the latest trends and developments regarding the rise of Assisted Living in Europe, Frost & Sullivan will host a complimentary web conference, entitled Assisted Living: A Promising Answer to the Challenges of European Eldercare, to take place on Tuesday, 30th November 2010, at 2 p.m. BST. Research Analyst, Somsainathan Kamalasekar, will give an overview of latest trends and developments like interoperability, diversification and shift in demands pertinent to assisted living concepts and technologies in Europe. It will also discuss the prominence of wi-fi and other digital communication which are likely to form the platform for large deployment that are expected to impact the market.

“The European market for Assisted Living is currently in its early stages of growth, with increasing competition,” observes Somsainathan Kamalasekar. “Faced by a low awareness and continuous cost constraints, market participants are looking to capitalize on early opportunities. Investments in technology upgradation have led to comprehensive improvements in the market acceptance for assisted living devices and services.”

This web conference will benefit service providers operating in assisted living environments, device manufacturers and government authorities, by discussing industry specific trends, market challenges and best practices followed by the industry for eldercare.
