This chapter provides an informal review of the opportunities provided by Information Communication Technology (ICT) for improving and maintaining well-being among older people. The manner in which ICT might improve well-being is considered across three domains; social networks (broadening and deepening connections, facilitating social contribution, providing indirect monitoring), cognitive function (maintaining and enhancing function, supporting cognitive impairment), and health (preventing and managing disorders, rehabilitation, enhancement of health, improvements in health care). The barriers and opportunities that exist are identified as falling into four categories; psychological, technological, costs (financial and human), and issues of privacy and confidentiality. Based on exploration of these barriers and opportunities, recommendations regarding possible solutions are made.
