ABSTRACT
Demographic and epidemiologic transitions have brought forward a new health care paradigm with the presence of both growing elderly population and chronic diseases. Recent technological advances can support elderly people in their domestic environment assuming that several ethical and clinical requirements can be met. This paper presents an architecture that is able to meet these requirements and investigates the technical challenges introduced by our approach.

An Architecture for Ambient Assisted Living and Health Environments
IWANN '09: Proceedings of the 10th International Work-Conference on Artificial Neural Networks: Part II: Distributed Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Soft Computing, and Ambient Assisted LivingThe hospital and home are ancillary places in the life of elderly people, people with high risk of health problems or patients who have had recently an operation. We propose an architecture for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) and health environments that ...
Mobile Assisted Living: Smartwatch-based Fall Risk Assessment for Elderly People
iWOAR '18: Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Sensor-based Activity Recognition and InteractionWe present a novel Smartwatch-based approach, to enable Mobile Assisted Living (MAL) for users with special needs. A major focus group for this approach are elderly people. We developed a tool for caregivers applicable in home environments, nursing care,...
Behavioral Patterns of Older Adults in Assisted Living
In this paper, we examine at-home activity rhythms and present a dozen of behavioral patterns obtained from an activity monitoring pilot study of 22 residents in an assisted living setting with four case studies. Established behavioral patterns have ...
