Ambient Assisted Living Research in the CareLab

Abstract

As technology development progresses, the vision of ambient intelligence has provided a human-centric approach to applications of technology. In the context of aging societies, ambient intelligence has focused on providing assistive solutions for elders at risk of losing their independence. In this article we report on a research environment called CareLab and describe three projects that have studied the role of technology in the monitoring and coaching of older adults. By focusing on the need for a feeling of safety, cognitive stimulation, and social connectedness, these projects have investigated the role of technology applications for supporting the elderly in maintaining an independent lifestyle. Finally, we discuss some challenges crucial for the success of ambient assisted-living research.
