Abstract: The Generalitat Valenciana aims to implement measures that promote active ageing and the development of new technologies and inclusive innovation that favour activity. In this context, the Instituto de Biomecánica de València launches the IMPULS Project (Technological innovations for active and healthy ageing in the Valencian Region) co-financed by IVACE.

The IMPULS Project consists of different technological innovation actions to improve the individual, social and community well-being of the elderly. Specifically, the actions to be developed are 4 pilot experiences in 4 municipalities (2 in an urban environment and 2 in a rural environment) in the Valencian Community.

Objective:Through this contract, EvalPub is in charge of the impact assessment corresponding to these actions, taking into account factors related, on the one hand, to the usefulness and benefits perceived by the participants in their interaction with these innovations and, on the other hand, to the sources of cost or investment associated with each scenario considered.
