Ambient Assisted Living Research in the CareLab

Abstract: As technology development progresses, the vision of ambient intelligence has provided a human-centric approach to applications of technology. In the context of aging societies, ambient intelligence has focused on providing assistive solutions for elders at risk of losing their independence. In this article we report on a research environment called CareLab and describe three projects that have studied the role of technology in the monitoring and coaching of older adults. By focusing on the need for a feeling o… Show more

Within this complex and continuously evolving framework, it is very challenging to technologically meet all users' needs and requirements regarding accessibility and usability along the development process.…”
