“…Therefore, such websites should be clear, direct and progress step-by-step with reader instructions. This discovery supported the finding of Grguric et al (2010) where the computer literacy level of the elderly people is generally poor, and that they may face problems even with simple tasks. As colourful icons attract the attention of the elderly, therefore, different colours were used to represent each function button and a five-module menu bar was adopted to support this theme.…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate the interface design of nutrition information application for elderly people. Obtaining the proper nutritional information is an important aspect for elderly healthcare. Most information on healthcare can be found from the Internet. However, many elderly people face problems when using the Internet due to their inability to adapt to common platforms of interface design. Due to deterioration in physiological functions, elderly users have different requirements from adult users. A high fidelity prototype on nutrition was developed, taking into consideration the evaluation results from the initial need assessment focus group study. A questionnaire survey was conducted involving 30 respondents aged between 60 and 79 years old. The result reveals that most of the respondents gave a positive feedback to the three main features of interface design, which are simplicity (96%), directness (90%) and consistency (100%). Based on this outcome, it can be concluded that the interface design is well accepted by the elderly respondents.

Resumo Este artigo apresenta um estudo sobre o emprego de um sistema de monitoramento remoto que busca auxiliar o idoso a compreender a importância de determinados cuidados com sua saúde. Além de monitorar dados e sinais do idoso, o sistema também disponibiliza e sugere ao usuário, vídeos e materiais informativos. O estudo envolveu coleta e análise de dados com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, na modalidade de estudo de caso. Do ponto de vista qualitativo, observou-se como as ferramentas e métodos utilizados contribuíram com as mudanças de comportamento dos participantes com relação a seus cuidados e hábitos diários de saúde. Do ponto de vista quantitativo, constatou-se uma redução no percentual de gordura de todos os participantes. O sistema disponibilizado também contribuiu para introduzir mudanças positivas no que diz respeito aos hábitos de saúde dos participantes. Apoiados pelo sistema e programa de monitoramento implementado, estes passaram a tomar mais cuidado com alimentação e prática de atividade física.

The last decade has seen explosive growth in the technologies required to implement Ambient Intelligence (AmI) systems. Technologies such as facial and speech recognition, home networks, household cleaning robots, to name a few, have become commonplace. However, due to the multidisciplinary nature of AmI systems and the distinct requirements of different user groups, integrating these developments into full-scale systems is not an easy task. In this paper we propose FunBlocks, a minimalist modular framework for the development of AmI systems based on the function module abstraction used in the IEC 61499 standard for distributed control systems. FunBlocks provides a framework for the development of AmI systems through the integration of modules loosely joined by means of an event-driven middleware and a module and sensor/actuator catalog. The modular design of the FunBlocks framework allows the development of AmI systems which can be customized to a wide variety of usage scenarios.
