TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the relationship between the cognitive changes of aging and the usage of web services is presented, supported by field research with the key stakeholders, including older adults and organisations that provide services for older adults.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results from a research project currently being undertaken in the UK, Norway and Italy, to demonstrate how assistive web-based technologies can be developed to assist the transformation of governments' services for older adults with age-related cognitive impairments.
