“…Examples of AAL technology would be an ultrasonic sensor-based gait speed measurement system [68], haptic enhanced telerehabilitation system [69], a smart home simulator using semantic and virtual reality [70], a wearable device pain management system [71] and physiological data analysis system [72] just to name a few. AAL as an info-communication technology(ICT) is proposed as "ElderCare," which provides an interactive TV-based platform for geriatric care [73]. AAL systems can also assess the variables of the environment, like air quality, sunlight intensity, and seasonal information, to calculate the probability of various illnesses [73].…”

This paper is a review of the current state of IoT-based technologies in the healthcare field for the elderly population. The increasing population of elderly people has led to a greater demand for healthcare services to meet their unique needs. IoT-based technologies have emerged as a promising solution to address this demand. The paper analyses the current trends, challenges, and future opportunities for research in this area. It highlights how IoT-based technologies can be utilized to improve healthcare for older adults, from remote monitoring and telemedicine to fall detection and medication management. The paper also acknowledges that there are still challenges to be addressed, such as data privacy and security, but the potential benefits for older adults outweigh the challenges. The paper also examines the impact of the industrial revolution on the aging population and the corresponding increase in demand for geriatric healthcare. In summary, this paper delves into the current status of IoT-based technologies in geriatric healthcare and its future prospects, with a focus on addressing the needs of the aging population and improving their quality of life.

“…It can also allow users to obtain individually requested data and services that differ from the main program [6] [17]: viewers can overlay content or intervene in the program by means of phone calls, SMS, or, recently, social networks [19]. ITV-based applications can remind older users to take their medicines and contact caregivers (e.g., [23] [37]); they can foster social interaction (e.g., [1]) or sustain cognitive skills to prevent common aging diseases such as mild cognitive impairment (e.g., [3]). Involving the target types of older users (e.g., users with normal aging issues, users with mild cognitive impairments, isolated users, etc.)…”

Because of their specific aging-related needs, older users should be involved when it comes to designing and evaluating devices that target them. While emphasis is usually put only on the accessibility of the final interface to this population, the participatory design and evaluation methods should also be adapted to their needs. This paper aims to contribute to the literature of human-computer interaction for older users by showing-in the context of the development and evaluation of an actual prototype, an interactive television (ITV) for senior citizens within the SeniorChannel project-how design and evaluation methods can be adapted to older users. The paper first describes the strategies that have been reported in human-computer interaction literature to involve older adults in design (i.e., visual prompts, warm-ups, experiencing, hands-on, and natural tasks). It then illustrates the way in which such strategies were implemented in the design and evaluation of SeniorChannel applications (i.e., illustrated material, video clips, tutorials, peer sessions, cards, natural tasks). Finally, the results of the final users' evaluation of the prototypes are reported.

“…Moreover, the addition of new inter-connected elements [1] thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm [2] is paving new ways in which the automation of the active elements of the building based on the needs of its occupants is closer than ever. In this regard, the deployment of different interconnected solutions [3] aims to improve the quality of life of the occupants by fulfilling their basic requirements.…”

The reduction of the carbon footprint of buildings is a challenging task, partly due to the conflicting goals of maximising occupant comfort and minimising energy consumption. An intelligent management of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems is creating a promising research line in which the creation of suitable algorithms could reduce energy consumption maintaining occupants' comfort. In this regard, Reinforcement Learning (RL) approaches are giving a good balance between data requirements and intelligent operations to control building systems. However, there is a gap concerning how to create a generalised reward signal that can train RL agents without delimiting the problem to a specific or controlled scenario. To tackle it, an analysis and discussion is presented about the necessary requirements for the creation of generalist rewards, with the objective of laying the foundations that allow the creation of generalist intelligent agents for building energy management.
