In addition, a diverse range of services for the elderly is provided by non-government organizations, including the application of technology to address functional and quality of life needs.

This communication presents a broad overview of the current state of the Israeli health system from the point of view of older people, discusses some examples of technology-based services for the elderly, and describes some local R&D initiatives in the field of gerontechnology.Keywords: Israel; Health Care Technology; Assistive Technology
