Elderly people constitute a major portion of world's population. Many of them are physically and mentally vulnerable and need continuous support for their health and well-being. There is a growing trend that these elderly people are placed in an ambient assisted living environment (AAL) with an aim to receive better care and support. In such settings, a lot of attention has been given to continuous health monitoring for maintaining physical health status. However, much less attention has been given toward understanding the entertainment needs of the elderly people, which is an important factor relevant to their mental health and joyful living. This paper thus addresses the entertainment needs of the elderly and proposes a framework of an elderly entertainment support system. The proposed framework enables different categories of residents (e.g., elderly people and caregivers) to access various media services in both implicit and explicit manner in order to enhance the quality of their living experience in different contexts. Our experimental results demonstrate the viability of the proposed framework. We believe that the proposed approach will establish the need to develop entertainment systems and services for the elderly people and allow us to sensibly address the problems associated with their independent, happy and active living.

“…These have generally focussed on the accessibility and usability of a system. Only a few May cause additional anxiety in some people More aware of changes in health and act on the advice or feedback provided Some prefer ''not to know'' Parameters like blood pressure could be read straight off the monitor Quicker than visiting the doctor Some prefer health professionals to monitor their health directly Difficulties with using system in general Graphical feedback difficult to interpret studies seem to have examined the requirements of the content of the applications provided as well (Mitchell et al, 2007;Raij and Lehto, 2008).…”

Purpose -This paper seeks to identify the user requirements for an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based system to deliver care, support and information services to older people in the community.Design/methodology/approach -A structured, mixed methods approach incorporating workshops, systematic literature reviews, surveys, and focus groups gathered user needs prior to a prototype being developed. This was then tested with users and their feedback used in further iterations of the product.Findings -In total, five main user requirement themes were identified: information access; communication; self-care; accessibility; and personalisation of services.Practical implications -Details are provided of the user requirements for a health and care system to remotely deliver support. Additionally, the value of utilising a range of requirements gathering tools and prototyping is discussed.Originality/value -Too often technology systems are developed which do not meet actual need. This paper reports the results of a formal user needs process and discusses the role of user requirements more generally.
