During the last decade, the challenges of an ageing society became focus for extensive scientific, public and political discussions. From discussions in scientific fora within each discipline, there is now a shift towards cross-disciplinary scientific approaches. The aim of this article is therefore, to collect and describe different scientific viewpoints in this regard and to point out research gaps to be addressed in the future. The article is based on a number of review articles and keynote lectures given by the author, and complemented with informal interviews of experts from different scientific fields engaged in the field of technology and ageing. Results show that research has emerged from being technology-focussed to scenario-based taking different scientific perspectives into account. However, the biggest challenge still is to accommodate the need for a holistic integrated service which means to provide personalised services and adapt technology and content to individual needs of different stakeholders. Further, cross-disciplinary research is needed that relates informatics and technology to different stages of the aging process and that evaluates the effects of proposed technical solutions.
在过去的十年中，老龄化社会的挑战成为了广泛的科学、公众和政治讨论的焦点。从各个学科内部的科学论坛的讨论，现在已经转向跨学科的科学方法。因此，本文的目的是收集和描述这方面的不同科学观点，并指出未来需要解决的研究空白。本文基于作者撰写的一些评论文章和主题演讲，并辅以对从事技术和老龄化领域的不同科学领域的专家的非正式访谈。研究结果表明，研究已经从以技术为中心转变为基于情景的研究，考虑了不同的科学视角。然而，最大的挑战仍然是满足对整体综合服务的需求，这意味着提供个性化的服务，并使技术和内容适应不同利益相关者的个人需求。此外，还需要跨学科的研究，将信息学和技术与老龄化过程的不同阶段联系起来，并评估拟议技术解决方案的效果。
