“…Several systems provide daily activity reminders [210], such as HealthVault [211], Google Health [212], or MemoJog [213], which remind users of daily health issues, exercises, or medications. AAL robotic assistants are gaining dominance in support roles, and augmented features individually assist the user [204] or provide a range of ADL assistance [214,215].…”

A Review and Classification of Assisted Living Systems

Europe's social agenda for the "active elderly" is based upon a series of programs that provide a flexible infrastructure for their lives so that they are motivated, engaged in lifelong learning, and contributing to society. Economically speaking, Europe must engage in active aging research in order to avoid unsustainable health costs, and ambient assisted living (AAL) systems provide a platform for the elderly to remain living independently. This paper reviews research conducted within the area of AAL, and offers a taxonomy within which such systems may be classified. This classification distinguishes itself from others in that it categorises AAL systems in a top-down fashion, with the most important categories placed immediately to the left. In this paper, each section is explored further, and AAL systems are the focus. Entire AAL systems still cannot be fully evaluated, but their constituent technical parts can be assessed. The activities of daily living (ADLs) component was given further priority due to its potential for system evaluation, based on its ability to recognise ADLs with reasonable accuracy.Information 2018, 9, 182 2 of 24 ensure that future system features include the minimum requirements necessary for AAL research and commercial usage, thus ensuring that the elderly and their families have systems capable of meeting their current and future ADL needs. Previous reviews have taken different approaches, yet all failed to provide a framework within which all AAL systems could be classified according to their primary function [5,6]. Some applied specific guidelines to predominantly single-use systems, compared platform performance, or personalised healthcare systems. The evolution of AAL technology [7] has taken us through three generations, from wearable devices that respond to an emergency, to automatic response home sensors, to a third generation combining less-intrusive monitoring with preventive functionalities. Another review approach of surveying ambient environment services [8] under event-, context-, or device-aware services was categorised in terms of a service-oriented, user-centered, and event-aware monitoring service. This review technique compared various ambient services of response time, success rate, low/high-level failures, power consumption, and service reliability/adaption, yet offered no classification. A comprehensive literature review [9] on platforms and systems [10] provided no taxonomy for researchers, and excluded ambient intelligence (AmI) research that is pivotal within robotics and wearable computing. A recent review paper [11] described AAL as the culmination of the following five technologies: sensors, context awareness, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, announcing the importance of device interoperability, yet offering no template for achieving this goal. AALIANCE [12] proffered a roadmap for AAL system standardisation and a possible future evolutionary structure for systems, yet this aspirational template lacks the necessary structure to accommodate curr...

Our capacity to shape and direct our future behaviour is of fundamental importance in the development, pursuit, and maintenance of independence and autonomy from early childhood to late adulthood. A cognitive ability required for those functions is prospective memory (PM), which is the ability to form and remember to prospectively perform the intended action.\ud Researchers have extensively focused on PM impairment in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there has been limited research into the assessment and treatment of PM impairment in TBI patients. Reliable and valid tests with normative data are necessary for health professionals working with people with PM impairments. This chapter reviews the principal findings on PM impairment in TBI patients, and the main procedures used to assess and rehabilitate PM

“…Prototype systems have been developed for automatically monitoring activity in the home, in order to alert carers if there is a possibility that a fall or other worrying event has occurred 4 . Memory prompting systems are being developed to increase the time an older person with increasing memory loss can retain their independence 5,6 .…”

Dementia is the loss of cognitive abilities, particularly the use of working (short-term) memory, usually as a result of Alzheimer's disease or stroke. Dementia occurs primarily in older people, and while it does not affect all of them, its rate of occurrence rises steeply from about 1 in 5 of people in their 80s to 1 in 3 of those in their 90s. As our population balance shifts towards the older end of the spectrum, the incidence of dementia will continue to increase. The ability to take part in enjoyable activities is a faculty which can decrease markedly with the onset of dementia. And yet having fun is an essential part of life. We have been working on using technology to support activities for people with dementia that make life enjoyable. These include having entertainment, being creative, and enjoying a conversation. We have been developing computer-based multi-media systems to support a person with dementia to continue to enjoy taking part in these activities. The entertainment system supplies engaging content and built-in prompting to keep the user supported and involved. The creative tool allows a person with dementia to compose their own musical sounds, regardless of any musical background. The communication support system restores to the person with dementia the ability to carry out a conversation with a relative or carer, by making use of relatively well-preserved long-term memories. All three systems have been evaluated with people who have dementia, using a range of qualitative and quantitative methods. The results show that all three approaches can give positive outcomes, and further work in this field is recommended.
