“…Few studies have designed smart kitchens for older adults [3,4,13,28]. Blasco et al [3] developed Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) applications to help older adults increase their autonomy in kitchen-related activities.…”

“…The evaluation showed that users needed training to be able to use the system. Kosch et al [28] conducted a qualitative study on the design requirements for smart kitchens and communal cooking for people with cognitive impairments. Cognitive impairments refer to difficulties in learning, remembering information, or making decisions as a result of a health condition, injury or age-related disease.…”

“…HCI research has investigated older adults as users of assistive technologies [3], active ageing technologies [10], smart homes and kitchen systems [13,28], robot pets [29], and smart homes outfitted with assistive robots [21]. Technologies providing collaborative support that combine cognitive and physical assistance in the home environment are still very rare.…”

“…Many smart kitchen systems have been developed to improve the overall workflows of the cooking process in general [19,20,40,47]. Some kitchen systems have been designed for older adults in particular [3,4,13,28]. Assistive technology for older adults has focused on intelligent mobility aids or sensors in the home environment, mostly overlooking the significance of kitchen activities for the well-being of older adults [5,22,[31][32][33]51].…”

Assistive technologies can significantly increase older adults' independent living if these technologies are designed to meet their needs and abilities. This study investigates conditions and present possibilities for assistive technology to provide physical and cognitive support to older adults in a specific domestic task, which is cooking a meal at home. The empirical material consists of six video recordings of adults aged 65 and over preparing a meal in their kitchen. The study unpacks the complexity of kitchen tasks, from the physical interactions involved to the temporal and spatial alignment of objects and goals in the kitchen. We focus on a) Physical manipulation, such as chopping, opening packages, and moving objects around the kitchen, b) Organisation and coordination, including switching, synchronising and monitoring cooking tasks, and c) Reorchestration and reorganisation in the form of inserting additional tasks, and rearranging tools and ingredients when adjustments need to be made in the cooking process. The study outlines design principles for operational and organisational interventions to support cooking a meal for independent living. The study concludes with discussing design implications for conversational user interfaces in the kitchen, and the significance of assistive kitchen technologies for ageing in place.

“…Ontology-based recipe repositories would be one of the basic blocks of smart kitchen environments. Since the preparation of food plays a central role in human life, there are various works on smart kitchen environments and recipe assistants, including Gray [10], Schneider [11], Maass and Filler [12], Karuppiah [13] and Kosch et al [14]. Some of them are based on the assumption that a recipe store, which formulates recipes using an ontology like that of Ribeiro et al [15], already exists.…”

A case study for block-based linked data generation: Recipes as jigsaw puzzles

This article is a proof-of-concept case study to evaluate the functionality of a block metaphor–based linked data generator. In this work, we chose to produce linked data repository of recipes, which provide a medium for people to share their regional and healthy recipes with the masses. However, the same approach can also be adapted easily to other domains. Therefore, the applicability of our approach extends well beyond the food domain that we are considering in this article. As a medium for information sharing and understanding between heterogeneous systems, ontologies will play an important role in the realisation of the Internet of things (IoT) vision. Therefore, an ontology-based recipe repository would also be one of the basic blocks of a smart kitchen environment. However, building ontologies is a challenging task, especially for users who are not conversant in the ontology building languages. This article proposes an approach that can be used even by non-experts and facilitates the sharing and searching of recipe data. In our case, we exploit the features of the block paradigm to publish recipes in Linked Data format. In this way, users do not have to know the OWL (Web Ontology Language) syntax and the text input is kept minimal. As far as we know, this article is the first study that produces linked data using Blockly in the literature. We also conducted a user-based evaluation of the proposed approach using the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire.

Conversational agents (CA) are increasingly used to manage and coordinate household chores and everyday activities at home. However, these technologies should be adaptive to age-specific characteristics in order to be considered beneficial for the ageing population. This study presents a participatory design of a conversational agent to provide cognitive support in recipe following and nutrition advice for adults aged 65 and over. Through a qualitative thematic analysis, the study explores older adults’ expectations, interactions and experiences with the agent in order to identify age-specific challenges of interacting with CAs. Data consists of a participatory design workshop with eight older adults (aged 65 and over), followed by a Wizard of Oz study with ten older adults interacting with the agent in the kitchen environment in a laboratory setting. Results demonstrate that older adults consider conversational agents as beneficial for providing personalised recipe recommendations, advising the user to choose appropriate ingredients and reminding them of their dietary intake. When interacting with the agent older adults displayed challenges with confirmation and repetition, questioning and correcting, the lack of conversational responses, and difficulties in hearing and understanding the multi-modal interaction. Older adults experience agents as collaborators, but not as conversational partners. The study concludes that the accessibility and inclusiveness of conversational agents regarding voice interaction could be improved by further developing participatory methods with older adults.
