Taking Care of Elderly People with Chronic Conditions Using Ambient Assisted Living Technology: The ADVENT Perspective

چکیده
The population ageing trend has created an imperative need for ICTbased solutions that will support continuous care provision and help elders prolong the time they live independently in their own home environment. The ADVENT project aims at providing a comfortable, safe and secure environment to support the daily living of elders through a set of adaptive and demanddriven services. This paper presents the user and system requirements analysis results, based on which the high-level architecture of the core ADVENT system was drawn. This architecture highlights the home environment and the ambient intelligence platform, which are described in detail on a design level.
