Abstract

Currently, a number of elderly people is rising all over the world. It is expected that by 2020 the percentage of elderly people
aged 60+ years will reach 30% of the total number of population living in the developed European countries. This
demographic trend brings about other serious issues such as an incidence of aging diseases, out of which the most common
is dementia. At present its development can be delayed for some time by medications and by a few other non-invasive
alternative approaches (e.g., music therapy or physical activities). Also technological devices can assist elderly people in
obtaining information about their state of health and providing information for its improvement. Therefore the purpose of
this article is to describe the concept of e-health and discuss seniors’ attitude to this application with highlighting its main
benefits.
Keywords: E-health, technological devices, seniors, attitude, benefits.
