Abstract

The issues related to elderly people are currently being studied by many disciplines, including biology, medicine, psychology and sociology. The problems that aging creates in societies are covered in different ways by scientists specializing in different fields. Social scientists focus on, inter alia, the social scope of activities carried out by elderly people. The said issues also fall in the areas of interest of professionals who create information systems and technologies dedicated to elderly people. Thus, what has been developed in order to meet their interests and to respond to a dynamic process of aging within societies is a concept of an ICT platform designed to increase the activity of elderly people. The platform is dedicated to members of local communities and it can be used to foster entrepreneurship, personal fulfillment and activation in the area of social life. The paper presents both the goals and the concept of such a platform as well as its information structure and model of implementation.
