: The physical and mental health in elderly population is an emergent issue which in recent years has become an urgent socio-economic phenomenon. Computer scientists, together with physicians and caregivers have devoted a great research effort to conceive and devise assistive technologies, aiming at safeguarding elder health, while a marginal consideration has been devoted to their emotional domain. In this manuscript we outline the research plan and the objectives of a current project called…

pyVHR: a Python framework for remote photoplethysmography
TLDR
The present pyVHR framework represents a multi-stage pipeline covering the whole process for extracting and analyzing HR fluctuations and supports either the development, assessment and statistical analysis of novel rPPG methods, either traditional or learning-based, or simply the sound comparison of well-established methods on multiple datasets.
Deep graph neural network for video-based facial pain expression assessment
TLDR
A novel approach for the recognition of pain from the analysis of facial expression is proposed and the effectiveness of Graph Neural Network (GNN) architectures exploiting the inherent graph structure of a set of fiducial points automatically tracked on subject faces is evaluated.
An Open Framework for Remote-PPG Methods and Their Assessment
TLDR
Surprisingly, performances achieved by the four best rPPG methods, namely POS, CHROM, PCA and SSR, are not significantly different from a statistical standpoint, highlighting the importance of evaluate the different approaches with a statistical assessment.
Improving the Accuracy of Automatic Facial Expression Recognition in Speaking Subjects with Deep Learning
TLDR
This work develops two neural networks that classify facial expressions in speaking subjects from the RAVDESS dataset, a spatio-temporal CNN and a GRU cell RNN, and shows that using DNNs the addition of features related to articulation increases classification accuracy up to 12%, the increase being greater with more consecutive frames provided in input to the model.
A Quantitative Evaluation Framework of Video De-Identification Methods
TLDR
This note takes into account the issue of preserving privacy, facial expressions, and photo-reality simultaneously, proposing a general testing framework and applying the quantitative evaluation to four open-source tools, producing a baseline for future de-identification methods.

A User-Centred Well-Being Home for the Elderly
TLDR
Which aspects are more important for the well-being of a person and which devices, technologies and interactions may be used to collect data directly from users and measure their physiological and emotional responses are focused on.
A Review of Approaches to Mobility Telemonitoring of the Elderly in Their Living Environment
TLDR
The architecture of health smart home, wearable, and combination systems for the remote monitoring of the mobility of elderly Persons as a mechanism of assessing the health status of elderly persons while in their own living environment is reviewed.
AmE Framework : a Model for Emotion-aware Ambient Intelligence
TLDR
The hypotheses are that emotion-aware applications offer better user experience than the applications that ignore emotions and that emotion to improve their emotional intelligence, that is, skills to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self and of others.
Deep Construction of an Affective Latent Space via Multimodal Enactment
TLDR
A novel probabilistic framework based on a deep latent representation of a continuous affect space is proposed, which can be exploited for both the estimation and the enactment of affective states in a multimodal space (visible facial expressions and physiological signals).

Ambient Technology to Assist Elderly People in Indoor Risks
TLDR
The literature was reviewed and the major indoor risks addressed by assistive technology that elderly people face during their indoor activities were identified: fall, wrong self-medication management, fire, burns, intoxication by gas/smoke, and the risk of inactivity.

Data-Driven Continuous Assessment of Frailty in Older People
TLDR
The state-of-the-art in frailty evaluation is presented, recent research achievements that could lead to an improved assessment are summarized, and a case study is illustrated of a study of frailty in elderly patients conducted in an institution.
Gaze Estimation for Assisted Living Environments
TLDR
A simple neural network regressor is proposed that estimates the gaze direction of individuals in a multi-camera assisted living scenario, relying only on the relative positions of facial keypoints collected from a single pose estimation model.
