This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Fourth
Italian Forum on Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), held in Ancona,
Italy, in October 2013. A wide range of issues are covered and new
technological developments are described which will support the
autonomy and independence of individuals with special needs through
an innovative and integrated approach, designed to respond to the
socio-economic challenges of an aging population. Topics addressed
include: health and well-being, prevention and rehabilitation and
support for care providers; active aging and its social
implications; services for the frail elderly with health problems
and their families; nutrition; ICT platforms/technologies for the
benefit of the elderly; home automation and control technologies
(autonomy, safety and energy saving); smart cities and smart
communities; telemedicine, telerehabilitation, and telecare;
mobility, participation and social inclusion; games and fun for the
elderly; building design; social housing; interface design and
interaction (accessibility, acceptance); social policies to
encourage and support active aging; business models, market
analysis and development of sustainable financing and business and
ethics, privacy and data protection. Many experimental validations
based on user trials and usability testing are presented and
discussed. The knowledge and insights provided in this book will
help researchers and others involved in AAL to understand relevant
societal trends, novel technological developments and pressing
challenges.
The book describes the significant multidisciplinary research
findings at the Universita Politecnica delle Marche and the
expected future advances. It addresses some of the most dramatic
challenges posed by today's fast-growing, global society and the
changes it has caused. It also discusses solutions to improve the
wellbeing of human beings. The book covers the main research
achievements in the different disciplines of the physical sciences
and engineering, as well as several research lines developed at the
university's Faculty of Engineering in the fields of electronic and
information engineering, telecommunications, biomedical
engineering, mechanical engineering, manufacturing technologies,
energy, advanced materials, chemistry, physics of matter,
mathematical sciences, geotechnical engineering, circular economy,
urban planning, construction engineering, infrastructures and
environment protection, technologies and digitization of the built
environment and cultural heritage. It highlights the international
relevance and multidisciplinarity of research at the university as
well as the planned research lines for the next years.
