Many researchers and product developers are striving toward achieving ICT-enabled independence of older adults by setting up Enhanced Living Environments (ELEs). Technological solutions, which often based on the Internet Things (IoT), show great potential in providing support for Active Aging. To enhance quality life overcome challenges enabling individuals to achieve their full terms physical, social, mental well-being, numerous proof-of-concept systems have been built. These systems,...
Assistive devices could promote independent living and support the active healthy aging of an older population; however, several factors can badly influence long-term use new technologies. In this context, paper presents a two-step methodology called “pre-validation” that aims to identify bias services, thus minimizing risk unsuccessful longer trial. The proposed pre-validation is composed two main phases aim assess usability reliability technology assessed in laboratory environment...
Abstract This article describes the UniversAAL platform, an open platform intended to facilitate development, distribution, and deployment of technological solutions for Ambient assisted living (AAL). The is benefit end users (i.e., persons, their families, caregivers), authorities with responsibility AAL, organizations involved in development AAL services. It consists extensive set resources (some are software some models/architectures) aimed at these different groups. classified into three...
There are a number of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services that can be used to increase quality life older adults persons with special needs.Unfortunately, there is often mismatch between the offered their user-friendliness, hindering use reducing utility.One most important factors ability provide accessible, attractive user-friendly interaction.In this study, three systems for design flexible user interfaces compared based on generic framework.The framework introduces...
Motivated by the aging trend, much effort is being invested into implementing ICT (Information and Communications Technology)-enabled systems to provide a better quality of life support independent living older people. As result, many systems, often labeled as eHealth or AAL (Ambient/Active Assisted Living), were developed over years. In creating such which very serve various needs, different architectures have emerged. This work focuses on analyzing comparing from seven (six are in...
A cross-domain initiative Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is utilizing ICT technologies and increasing autonomy of the elderly by building Enhanced Environments (ELEs). Affordable in-house devices that can be combined with highly available, infinitely scalable cloud services deliver novel applications user experience. Cost reduction efficiency smart-home has become one imperatives countries around world. Low cost (of-the-shelf) facilitate proliferation smart make them more accessible to a...
The biggest challenges in the area of AAL service development is heterogeneity. Possible solution to accommodate dynamic behavior system needs and diversity requirements use higher level abstraction by using ontology. We describe a methodology, structure, format selection evaluation proposed ontology building on top well established ontologies. give further details cloud utilizing this as an underlying ontology-based data model. In case study we discuss how enables creation orchestration...
The EU project Pharaon aims to support older European adults by integrating digital services, tools, interoperable open platforms, and devices. One of the objectives is validate integrated solutions in large-scale pilots. integration mature existing systems one preconditions for successful realization different such solution an intelligent, privacy-aware home-care assistance system, SmartHabits. After briefly introducing SmartHabits, authors propose models Ambient/Active Assisted Living...
One common approach in dealing with increased number of elderly is provisioning IT based applications that strive to prolong their independent life. However, development such cumbersome and expensive. In order simplify ease the applications, MPOWER framework has been developed. The provides service architecture a set predefined services can be assembled into for elderly. this article we give brief overview concentrate on issue providing usable interfaces Specifically, compare two versions an...
