Service Platform for Continuous Delivery of Assisted Living Systems

Abstract

A smart home has potential to support independent living of elderly people in their preferred living environments. However, smart home systems do not fully address the aims of Ambient assisted living (AAL), mainly due to limited support outside the home. This need of continuous delivery of assistance for elderly people on the go require technology which extends the home into the society. This ongoing work proposes to identify the architectural requirements for a service platform being able to continuously deliver assistive services at home and beyond.
