Ambient Assisted Living context

� “Ambient Assisted Living” (AAL) denotes concepts, products and services that

interlink and improve new technologies and social systems, with the aim of

enhancing the quality of life for all people in all stages of their lives.

� AAL could be best translated as “intelligent systems of a specific assistance for a

better and safer life in the home environment”.

Dr. Filippo Cavallo

ARTS Lab - SSSA

Sensing (1)

� In AAL applications, sensing is expected to take place in anything and anywhere:

in- or on-body, in- or on- appliances or in the environment (home, outdoors, in

vehicles, public spaces, etc.). In AAL it is better to refer to “smart sensor”.

1) MEMS-based miniaturized and low-cost sensor.

2) DNA-sensors for measuring genetic diseases and/or genetically modified food.

3) Sensor communication systems based on advanced mobile communication protocols.

4) MEMS sensors for food and health care applications.

5) Miniaturized energy supplies for integration in self-contained sensors.

6) Lab-on-a-chip sensing (e. g. capillary separation and optical detection).

7) Motion-control and collision-avoidance (microwave sensors).

8) Ultra-small biosensors with implanted components in medical or other applications.

9) Biosensors for various applications.

10) MEMS devices based on polymer materials.

Reasoning (1)

� A core function of AAL systems is the conclusion of knowledge about the activities

of the user and the current situation in this environment from low-level sensor data

(daily activities and situations, emergency situations, user’s mid-term and long-term

behavior). Sensor fusion aspects.

Emergency situations:

1) Helplessness/lying on the floor

2) Indicators of falls

3) Motionlessness

4) Critical values in vital parameters.

Activities of daily living:

1) Sleeping

2) Toilet usage

3) Personal hygiene

4) Preparation of meals.

Psychosocial behavior:

1) Going out

2) Meeting people

3) Communication.

Motion:
