“…Given that smart cities' infrastructures are public and easily accessible, it is important to robust security mechanisms to guarantee the privacy, integrity, and confidentiality of personal data. Even though many research studies identify privacy as a significant issue in smart cities, there is evidence [24] that the issues arising from the use of personal mobile and wearable sensors by applications addressing the mobility of older adults in smart cities (e.g., [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]), and for promoting healthy lifestyles in particular [17,18], are under-researched. Additionally, the privacy issues related to the gap among the digital competences of older adults and the privacy management requirements of mobile applications and related problems have not been conveniently solved yet [16].…”

“…Despite the importance of data privacy, integrity, and confidentiality, the smart city developments aiming to promote the mobility and physical activity of older adults do not conveniently address these questions [24], as can be observed in various studies [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Therefore, the present study aimed to contribute with solutions to surpass this gap.…”

“…The use of smart technologies is increasingly considered an important mean to promote active ageing [6,7]. Therefore, many researchers aimed to develop new services based on information technologies (IT), such as ambient assisted living (AAL) [8], or smart cities' applications to promote age-friendly cities and communities [9] by facilitating the mobility of older adults [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] or by promoting healthy lifestyles (i.e., physical activity) [17,18].…”

Physical activity contributes to the maintenance of health conditions and functioning. However, the percentage of older adults who comply with the recommendations for physical activity levels is low when compared to the same percentages on younger groups. The SmartWalk system aims to encourage older adults to perform physical activity (i.e., walking in the city), which is monitored and adjusted by healthcare providers for best results. The study reported in this article focused on the implementation of SmartWalk security services to keep personal data safe during communications and while at rest, which were validated considering a comprehensive use case. The security framework offers various mechanisms, including an authentication system that was designed to complement the pairs of usernames and passwords with trusted execution environments and token-based features, authorization with different access levels, symmetric and asymmetric key cryptography, critical transactions review, and logging supported by blockchain technology. The resulting implementation contributes for a common understanding of the security features of trustful smart cities’ applications, which conforms with existing legislation and regulations.

Smart Cities’ Applications to Facilitate the Mobility of Older Adults: A Systematic Review of the Literature

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study aimed to identify: (i) the relevant applications based on information technologies and requiring smart cities’ infrastructure to facilitate the mobility of older adults in URBAN SPACES; (ii) the type of data being used by the proposed applications; (iii) the maturity level of these applications; and (iv) the barriers TO their dissemination. An electronic search was conducted on Web of Science, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore databases, combining relevant keywords. Then, titles and abstracts were screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the full texts of the eligible articles were retrieved and screened for inclusion. A total of 28 articles were included. These articles report smart cities’ applications to facilitate the mobility of older adults using different types of sensing devices. The number of included articles is reduced when compared with the total number of articles related to smart cities, which means that the mobility of older adults it is still a not significant topic within the research on smart cities’. Although most of the included studies aimed the implementation of specific applications, these were still in an early stage of development, without the assessment of potential end-users. This is an important research gap since it makes difficult the creation of market-oriented solutions. Another research gap is the integration of knowledge generated by other research topics related to smart cities and smart mobility. Consequently, important issues (e.g., user privacy, data standardization and integration, Internet of Things implementation, and sensors’ characteristics) were poorly addressed by the included studies.
