“…In this context, the development of systems that link and interconnect several areas of healthcare, patient-centred perspectives and technologies is still an open issue (Elissen et al, 2016;Bajenaru et al, 2018). The personalized healthcare services involve finding solutions to meet the following challenges: a) implementation of non-invasive ways to monitor the user; b) promoting a usercentred design; c) ensuring emotional comfort by offering personalized services, increasing communication, as well as providing new forms of relaxing environments, ensuring an active ageing process (Marcelino et al, 2018).…”

“…The Clinically-validated INtegrated Support for Assistive Care and Lifestyle Improvement: the Human Link (vINCI) project is an example of technological implementation of an assistive solution based on the needs of the elderly that could be adapted to the conditions of Romanian healthcare system. This implementation, which is part of the European research effort, has created a digital ecosystem based on smart sensors to ensure non-invasive remote monitoring and care for a better quality of life for older adults (Bajenaru et al, 2018).…”

The new demographic perspectives lead to the necessity to develop new solutions based on the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, which is designed for the early identification of the health issues of the elderly people and for providing support to them so as to understand the factors that limit their Quality of Life (QoL). An adaptive technology, a personalized intervention and integrated wearable IoT devices have the potential to improve the national healthcare systems, especially the least developed ones, the efficacity of the provided services and thus, the QoL and the wellbeing of the elderly. This paper presents a user-oriented approach to the development of personalised assistive solutions in the field of elderly care, by identifying the needs and preferences of the older adults and translating them into development requirements of the vINCI platform, an ecosystem capable of providing a non-intrusive and personalised monitoring of physical and health parameters. In this regard, prior to the development of vINCI platform, two questionnaires were applied to a group of 62 participants aged 65 years or older without severe impairments, who were admitted as inpatients to "Ana Aslan" National Institute of Gerontology and Geriatrics in Bucharest and 62 formal and informal caregivers, with the purpose of identifying the needs of users. The vINCI technology aims to help the elderly people live independently and provides support for the implementation of preventive measures for healthcare.

“…The Internet of Things (IoT) is a "new technology paradigm, a global network of machines and devices capable of interacting with each other" (Kao, Nawata & Huang, 2019). The IoT-based smart wearable devices (e.g., smartwatches, activity trackers) can be used for various tasks in our daily life (Voicu et al, 2019), can improve individuals' quality of life and provide benefits in the context of assistive services (Băjenaru, Ianculescu & Dobre, 2018) and business processes.…”

This paper proposes the DANP (DEMATEL-based Analytic Network Process) method so that the factors that affect the quality of IoT (Internet of Things)-based smart wearable devices can be adequately assessed. The proposed method helps to identify and visualize the importance of certain factors (dimensions and criteria), the causal relationship among the factors, the mutual influence upon each other, and their influential weights. A numerical example was presented to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. The results of this study demonstrated that the quality dimensions can be divided into a causal group (the technical and ergonomic dimensions) and an effect group (the functional and symbolic dimensions). The functional dimension proved to be the most important factor and the most important core problem to be solved. The most influential driving factor was the ergonomic dimension. The results of this study provide insights into critical design criteria to better meet the users' needs and can be used by manufacturers to develop strategies for improving the quality of IoT-based smart wearable devices, in a priority order.
