“…They have already been successfully applied in AAL and smart home projects (e.g., Amigo or Soprano), cf. [ 12 – 14 ]. On the basis of these architectures, it is possible to combine components from different manufacturers and to choose them based on functionality rather than on brand.…”

“…These self-imposed restrictions limited our ability to track activities and the range of devices we could use, but they improved the impression, among our participants, of personal domestic privacy. The solution to the issue of privacy was, in the end, based on the methods presented by [ 5 , 12 , 20 ], whereas a specific focus was put on the measurement of inactivity [ 21 ]. That is, rather than monitor what seniors are doing, we monitored what they are not doing.…”

The smart home, ambient intelligence and ambient assisted living have been intensively researched for decades. Although rural areas are an important potential market, because they represent about 80% of the territory of the EU countries and around 125 million inhabitants, there is currently a lack of applicable AAL solutions. This paper discusses the theoretical foundations of AAL in rural areas. This discussion is underlined by the achievements of the empirical field study, Casa Vecchia, which has been carried out over a four-year period in a rural area in Austria. The major goal of Casa Vecchia was to evaluate the feasibility of a specific form of AAL for rural areas: bringing AAL technology to the homes of the elderly, rather than moving seniors to special-equipped care facilities. The Casa Vecchia project thoroughly investigated the possibilities, challenges and drawbacks of AAL related to this specific approach. The findings are promising and somewhat surprising and indicate that further technical, interactional and socio-psychological research is required to make AAL in rural areas reasonable in the future.

“…Once sensory data on the subject's activities of daily living has been gathered, the data is subsequently utilised by pattern recognition methods for classification of the activity that was observed [57], [46], [4], [56], [53], [58]. Results of the studies reveal that numerous activities of daily living may be classified with a generally high accuracy.…”

In this paper we investigate the precise focus required of a telemonitoring system for the domain of independently living elderly. Particularly, we investigate (1) the needs of telemonitoring for this particular domain, and (2) the requirements for such a telemonitoring system. For our investigation, we performed an extensive study of the literature, as well as performed interviews with 36 individuals active in the field. As a result, we established numerous needs to be considered, being foremost information need on safety, with regard to care response on emergencies (e.g., falling incidents, wandering), as well information need on dependence on care, with regard to inactivity, self-neglect and loneliness. Subsequently, we established numerous requirements to be addressed, being foremost the use of non-wearable sensors, unobtrusiveness, durability, reliability, privacy, and ubiquitousness. In our discussion of the requirements, we detailed specifically the topics of focus, functionality, and form of a telemonitoring system for this domain.
