OBJECTIVES Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) technologies are developed to enable elderly to live independently and safely. Innovative information technology (IT) can interconnect personal devices and offer suitable user interfaces. Often dedicated solutions are developed for particular projects. The aim of our research was to identify major IT challenges for AAL to enable generic and sustainable solutions. METHODS Delphi Survey. An online questionnaire was sent to 1800 members of the German…

Assessing Ambient Assisted Living Support for Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment: Results supported by a questionnaire applied to several healthcare stakeholders
TLDR
An online anonymous questionnaire for healthcare professionals was created to prove or disprove the number of interconnected hypotheses about the necessity and feasibility of the AAL system for MCI patients.
Sustainable Technologies for Older Adults
The exponential evolution of technology and the growth of the elderly population are two phenomena that will inevitably interact with increasing frequency in the future. This paper analyses…
Ambient Assisted Living Healthcare Frameworks, Platforms, Standards, and Quality Attributes
TLDR
It is found that more inter-organizational collaboration, user-centered studies, increased standardization efforts, and a focus on open systems is needed to achieve more interoperable and synergetic AAL solutions.
Implementation of a home-based interactive training system for fall prevention: requirements and challenges.
TLDR

Assessing older adults' perceptions of sensor data and designing visual displays for ambient environments. An exploratory study.
TLDR
Three novel visual displays for sensor data from Ambient Assisted Living environments that can become part of electronic health records are developed based on interview results, design guidelines derived from prior AAL research, and principles of graphic design theory.
Ambient assisted living and European funds: a bibliometric approach
TLDR
There was an increase in scientific production on AAL fields just after the start of the two EU funding programmes (2008 and 2014), and three main research directions were identified: activity and vital sign recognition, human-computer interaction and technology acceptance.
Information and communication technologies for promoting and sustaining quality of life, health and self-sufficiency in ageing societies – outcomes of the Lower Saxony Research Network Design of Environments for Ageing (GAL)
TLDR
The GAL research network has been run successfully and has achieved its major research objectives, and a future focus for research can now be outlined for systematically planned studies scientifically exploring the benefits of AAL technologies for senior citizens, in particular with respect to quality of life and the quality and efficiency of health care.
Ambient intelligence for the elderly: hope to age respectfully?
TLDR
This review defines the term AmI and exemplifies some current applications of AmI in the authors' lives, points out the reasons for developing AmI applications specifically for the elderly and offers insights to various research projects that aim to use AmI for the benefit of the elderly.
