Abstract

Person with disability and older people need assistance in activities of daily living(ADL).

Present study proposed and evaluated technological model of disability built on a famousenterprise architecture framework ArchiMate. Seamless integration of computing technology intoenvironmental objects made it possible to construct a context-aware, pervasive computing environmentthat transforms itself according to the need of users by dynamically detecting the current user based onlocation-aware services.
