Thanks FrancescoP for the feedback, which I evaluate as a positive vote :-)
Also based on feedback from Joe (actually, he was mainly warning that
this could be wasting time and energy discussing something of only very
minor importance, but he also criticized not only the phrase with "hit"
but also its too broad formulation covering everything for everybody), I
modified the def:
employing technology to support well-being in diverse situations
of life, especially in specific spaces, such as the living and
working environments, with a priority for people who might be
more in need of assistance (e.g. infirm or very elderly people)
In the spirit of the first ideas being exchanged among promoters with
regard to procedures, I suggest that the authors of the manifesto
consider a change in the above direction if at least two other positive
votes but no objections are there. To avoid delays in finalizing the
prints for AAL forum, today is practically the last chance for voting on
this suggestion, where an objection should be evaluated as a veto
without long discussions.
My regards,

1. citation from the manifesto:
making smart use of technology to support well-being in the
preferred living environment for people who might otherwise
find this difficult (e.g. infirm or very elderly people who
want to continue living in their own homes)
[...]
Hence, I just suggest to change it the following way:
employing technology to support well-being for everyone in all
situation of life, with a priority for people who might be hit
more by need for assistance (e.g. infirm or very elderly people)
I like the idea and the new text.
I think it could be improved (but I do not know how) by rephrasing
"might be hit by more need for assistance" into something more fluent.
