Acknowledgments

As stated above, this chapter presents the results of the project funded by the University CEU San Pablo entitled ‘Digital communication in healthcare institutions for active ageing’, reference USPBSPPC03/2012, directed by Karen Sanders. The project’s findings were first published as ‘Internet and the Elderly: Enhancing Active Ageing’ in Comunicar and in Public Relations Review, and we are grateful to them for the confidence they have placed in our work. In addition, we would like to thank Springer International Publishing and Ingrid Kollak for the opportunity to make these results more widely available.
