| Annotation | Innovation has the potential to transform privately and publicly provided products and services. This study describes the elements required for innovation to flourish within any given market or sector. It assesses five sectors that relate specifically to older people's quality of life against this system: housing; the local environment; health and social care; social inclusion; and personal finances. It looks at the challenges, barriers and gaps in the innovation system, as well as those innovations deemed to have been more successful. (RH). |
