“…One of the main concerns of caregivers was the selection of clothing and to ensure that people with Alzheimer’s disease get dressed properly. It may be useful to receive a recommendation on what clothing is appropriate to wear, for example, a smart wardrobe (Goh et al , 2011) to select clothing depending on the weather. A simple solution such as a mobile phone or a microcomputer with internet can download the weather forecast data.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to analyse the needs of people with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers in terms of information and communications technology (ICT) and home automation, and how to foster the use of smart devices in their homes and also, to determine whether the use of ICT can extend people with Alzheimer's disease stay at home in the first stages of the illness, while facilitating their caregivers' tasks. Design/methodology/approach-Groups of caregivers, ICT researchers and Alzheimer's disease experts were gathered to discuss the utility of several solutions. Sessions were grouped into four topics: safety, leisure, activities of daily living and friendly atmosphere. In total, 23 ICT-based solutions to improve life at home of people with Alzheimer's disease were analysed and grouped under "no interest', "some interest" and "very interesting". Caregivers rated these solutions and suggested improvements to them. Findings-In total, 18 out of 23 proposals were considered "very interesting", meaning that caregivers considered that they could truly improve the lives of people with Alzheimer's disease. Caregivers also suggested how to progressively introduce these technical solutions into their homes. Originality/value-ICT and home automation advances could be very useful if used conveniently. Caregivers consider that smart homes can help people with Alzheimer's disease in the security, leisure and daily tasks fields, increasing the time they can live alone in their own homes. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia and possibly contributes to 60-70 per cent of cases (Alzheimer's Association, 2014). This paper will focus on people with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. Caring for people with Alzheimer's disease living at home could take many hours a day (up to nine hours in Greece (Rodrigues ef al., 2012)). This task is often performed by family members who have to balance their personal and work activities with taking care of their family members. However, caring for people with Alzheimer's disease can be facilitated by new technologies such as home automation and ICT that have emerged in recent years.

“…Many prototypes of smart IoT closets for suggesting outfits by using RFID technology have been made in the past (Goh et al, 2011;Ling et al, 2007;Toney et al, 2006). These prototypes show some very promising techniques for IoT closets and are built on the same fundamental techniques as described in this paper.…”

A common problem for many people is deciding on an outfit from a vastly overloaded wardrobe. In this paper, we present Connected Closet, a semantically enriched Internet of Things solution of a smart closet with a corresponding mobile application for recommending daily outfits and suggesting garments for recycling or donation. This paper describes the whole design and architecture for the system, including the physical closet, the recommender algorithms, the mobile application, and the backend comprising of microservices implemented using container technology. We show how users can benefit from the system by supporting them in organizing their wardrobe, and receiving daily personalized outfit suggestions. Moreover, with the system's recycling suggestions, the system can be beneficial for the sustainability of the environment and the economy.

Self-expression through clothing is inherently visual and is not readily accessible to those with visual impairments. Presently, the best method for conveying information is with high-tech devices that identify fabric colors, but don't give information about pattern, graphics, washing instructions, or style. Designing clothing tags for the visually impaired user requires that the tags be discreet, comfortable, easy to locate, and that it be reasonably simple to retrieve information from them. With this study we contribute a collection of tagging systems that can be used in future research for the development and testing of fully functional tagging systems that will empower visually impaired users when making clothing decisions.
