Worldwide, the population ageing is a reality. The concept of
Active Ageing, adopted by the World Health Organization, aims to
guarantee quality ageing and appears as a strategy to solve this
demographic challenge. The technological solutions might have a key
role in the promotion of human functioning and in the mitigation of
disabilities, particularly those resulting from the natural ageing
process. This perspective is evident in the development of Ambient
Assisted Living (AAL) solutions. In this context, it is relevant to
know about the recent developments in AAL and discuss future trends
and challenges in this area. One of the objectives of this book is
to do a systematic literature review on AAL, not only considering
the technology used, but also the health condition that is intended
to improve. For this purpose, we consider the human functioning, in
particular the conceptual model of International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Considering that the ICF
conceptual framework is accepted within the healthcare domain, the
use of its concepts and terminologies to promote multidisciplinary
approaches for AAL solutions development processes can help to
overcome difficulties of communication between users, careers and
technological developers. AAL solutions must consider in their
development the needs of the person that will use AAL solutions.
The development must be user-centred and usability questions cannot
be forgotten. In addition, the acceptance of the AAL solutions is
closely related to the quality of the systems, so it is necessary
to appropriately assess these solutions.
