The Official Launching Ceremony of the AAL4ALL (Ambient Assistive Living for All) initiative has occurred on the 27th of October 2011 in Lisbon.

The AAL4ALL project has as fundamental objective the improvement of the quality of life of the senior population in Portugal, by the supervision, assistance and coordination of services that contribute to the health and well-being of those parts of the population.
Approved by QREN, the project involves the cooperation of 34 national entities – public institutions, industry, user groups and R&D institutions – to develop and implement the technology and services needed for a sustainable health care service to the senior population in Portugal.
With a global investment perspective of 8,3 million Euro, the AAL4ALL project will culminate with the implementation of a large-scale pilot in 2014.
