(ICT) to Support Independent Living for Older and Disabled People
The Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to Support Independent Living for Older and Disabled People Report prepared by: Dr. R.G.Curry Mrs. M. Trejo Tinoco Mr. D. Wardle Date: October 2002 Request for further copies of this report and any other correspondence should be addressed to Dr. R.G. Curry. [email protected] Abstract The use of technology to support independent living for older and disabled people is mentioned explicitly in many recent Government policy documents. The main purpose of this report is to make the reader aware of the range of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based activities which can promote the independence of older and disabled people and help them live in their own homes. This is achieved by reporting on activities across a wide range of fields including policy, industry, research, housing, health and social care. The report develops the concept of “building blocks” of ICT-based activity. From an analysis of this current activity and particularly on how it has developed since a previous report, a number of lessons emerge. This information is used to make suggestions for a national infrastructure for service delivery and to provide guidance on local implementation. The report concludes by making recommendations for the development of the use of ICT, telecare and new electronic assistive technologies to support independent living. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

www.culturevannin.im www.manxmusic.com KIAULL MANNINAGH Mean Fouyir 2015 September manx music today The Isle of Man is the shining light at Festival Interceltique de Lorient in Brittany Manx music, dance, art, literature, food and drink, crafts, cultural and tourist information have been shared with over 800,000 people already at Festival Interceltique de Lorient in Brittany. The good news is they can't get enough of everything and anything related to the Isle of Man! Whether it's Manx queenies or bumbee cages, traditional dance or singer-songwriters, the 'heart of the Celtic world' has taken centre stage and shown that, as a nation, the Isle of Man can punch above its weight. Over 100 musicians and dancers featured in two amazing gala nights at the Grand Theatre and the Espace Marine - the latter a dazzling show centring on Manannan and the sea. Carefully choreographed to showcase the very finest Manx dance, music and song within a tight timescale, the show received a standing ovation - and this was only the first half before jointly honoured nation, Cornwall, took to the stage. It is hoped that the show will be performed again in the Isle of Man in the not too distant future. In a fantastic finale to this special year, the Isle of Man was also top of the pops in the prestigious Trophée Loic Raison band competition, where Barrule took first place, with the Ruth Keggin Band in close second! Manx food and drink have proved incredibly popular at the IOM-Cornwall pavilion, which caters for thousands of people each day. -
