Active and Assisted Living (AAL) systems aim at improving the
quality of life and supporting independent and healthy living of
older or impaired people by using a distributed network of sensors
and actuators to create a ubiquitous technological layer, able to
interact transparently with the users, observing and interpreting
their actions and intentions, learning their preferences and
adjusting the parameters of the system to improve their quality of
life and work. This book provides a comprehensive review of the
technologies and applications for AAL. Topics covered include the
current state of the art of smart environments and labs from an AAL
point of view; ambient and wearable sensors for human health
monitoring; computer vision for active and assisted living; data
fusion for identifying lifestyle patterns; interoperable enhanced
living environments; reasoning systems for AAL; person-environment
interaction; data analytics for enabling connected health; human
gait analysis for frailty detection; fall prevention and detection;
supporting activities of daily living; outdoor mobility assistance;
location and orientation technologies based on WiFi systems;
health, wellbeing and engagement in life through AAL; tablet-based
clinical decision support system for hospitalised older adults;
smart, age-friendly cities and communities; privacy and ethical
issues; and human-centred design. The book concludes with a case
study on the design and implementation of a smart home
technological platform for the delivery of AAL services. With a
wide range of chapters from international contributors, this book
is essential reading for researchers and students in academics and
industry developing AAL technologies, healthcare practitioners, and
engineers with an interest in the field.
