“…Others in the hierarchy include self-esteem and self-actualization. Prior studies look into technologies that were related to health [4] (survival and safety) [5][6][7] and aging at home [8]. However, ICT services which enhance the social relatedness, self-development, self-esteem and self-actualization leading to intrinsic values among the elderlies appear to be lacking.…”

Intrinsic values associated with ICT services activities in productive ageing. Given the advances made in ICT services that have been widely used, elderlies need to be equipped with the knowledge in using the services. The lack of ICT usage among elderlies is because of the low motivation to use the ICT applications. This in turn could be due to the lack of intrinsic values associated with the use of ICT applications among elderlies. This study explores further the features of ICT services needed to support intrinsic values activities. Brainstorming sessions is conducted in this study where it involved six ICT experts in order to identify ICT services features to support intrinsic value activities. Intrinsic motivation features are significant features in ICT services to support intrinsic value activities for productive ageing. There are five intrinsic motivation features identified in this research, which are autonomy, competence, relatedness, altruism and curiosity. The ICT services to support intrinsic value activities model comprises of the ICT services characteristics that are transactive, community-based with online communication channels, and incorporated with intelligent agents.

“…The proposed system in this work will be able to predict the behavioural pattern of the person. Furthermore, this work is an extension of the work in [10]. The work conducted in [10][11] had discussed tracking of the human body by implementing capacitive proximity sensing technique to sense the existence and movement of the human body.…”

“…Furthermore, this work is an extension of the work in [10]. The work conducted in [10][11] had discussed tracking of the human body by implementing capacitive proximity sensing technique to sense the existence and movement of the human body. The designed system was proposed to be implemented by installing a matrix of thin planar electrodes underneath the floor surface in the elderly homes, hence, making the system non-invasive and discreet.…”

The aim of this research is to assist elderlies in accomplishing their everyday tasks through facilitating their home atmosphere with sensors, actuators, and computational resources. A significant effort is needed to incorporate them to make them effective in daily life. Particularly, the tracking and detection of elderly people’s daily tasks, associated with the information of the user's location in the home environment signify the key pillars of this work. The detecting and tracking algorithm uses the sensory data to indicate an associated situation in order to allow elderly people with special requirements. Monitoring the elderly’s behaviour over a long period of time will allow prediction of their forthcoming alarming situation which allows the finding of the elderly’s behavioural deviations in their everyday routine. The proposed resolution has been methodically assessed in the laboratory.

“…Pressure sensitive mats have been used in a number of patient monitoring studies. Pressure sensitive mats have been proposed to detect falls in the elderly population [27]- [29]. Piezoresistive sensors were used to detect falls in a range of scenarios, reaching sensitivity and specificity of 88.8% and 94.9% respectively [27].…”

“…A number of studies have presented the use of capacitive technology to measure the pressure applied across two sections [29], [47], [48]. Usually this type of configuration consists of two aligned electrodes separated by a thin layer of compressible material.…”

I would like to thank my wife, Eli Angela Dalla Valle, for all the support and patience throughout my master's study. Without her unconditional help and support it would not be possible to even start this important step in my career. Special thanks to Dr. James R. Green, who guided me through the program and provided all the important insights for the master's program and also during my stay at Carleton University. The support in our meetings and by email was essential to the advancement of this research. Finally, thank you for considering international students and for fighting for their academic successes. Special thanks to Dr. Rafik Goubran, who guided me into the research world and provided opportunities to work with world-class research agencies such as AgeWell. Also for guiding me throughout the courses and challenges of the academic life, giving me support and advising me on the path of knowledge.
