Improvement in Quality of Life with Use of Ambient-Assisted Living: Clinical Trial with Older Persons in the Chilean Population

Abstract: In Chile, 18% of the population is over 60 years old and is projected to reach 31% in three decades. An aging population demands the development of strategies to improve quality of life (QoL). In this randomized trial, we present the implementation and evaluation of the Quida platform, which consists of a network of unintrusive sensors installed in the houses of elderly participants to monitor their activities and provide assistance. Sixty-nine elderly participants were included. A significant increase in over… Show more

“…The proposed ensemble method demonstrates promising results in accurately identifying various activities, contributing to the advancement of assisted living technologies. A compelling clinical trial demonstrating the positive impact of ambient-assisted living on the quality of life among elderly individuals in Chile was presented in [18]. The findings highlight the potential benefits of this technology in enhancing the well-being of older adults.…”

“…The view of everyday circumstances enables the characterization of human-computer interaction as classified by restrained, anticipatory communications, and pervasive. The safety, health, and hygiene of the elderly can be effectively improved by AAL; early detection of potential health impairment, continuous monitoring of the condition of the elderly, and detection of hazardous events are supported by wireless sensor network architectures (Taramasco et al, 2022). AAL technologies are used in mobile emergency response systems, video surveillance, reminders, mobility and automation assistance tools, fall detection systems, and more.…”

“…On the other hand, actimetry is also known as actigraphy, and it is characterized as the assessment of an individual's active work through the discovery of body development. This makes it conceivable to screen an individual's action through light and development sensors (Taramasco et al, 2022). The motivation for this research work stems from the interest in fostering our day-to-day way of living and improving healthcare.…”
