07462 Summary – Assisted Living Systems - Models, Architectures and Engineering Approaches

Authors: Jürgen Nehmer and Thomas Kleinberger

Abstract
The Dagstuhl seminar on Assisted Living Systems (Seminar 07462) took place in November 2007 (14.11.2007 – 17.11.2007). The seminar was attended by more than 40 specialists from 14 nations and 5 continents. The key question was, if assistive technologies based on computer-based Ambience Intelligence Technology can help to substantially extend the period of self-determined life for elderly people. Assisted living systems were discussed from three different viewpoints: the medical/psychologists viewpoint, the outside viewpoint (users and industry), and the inside viewpoint (sensor and software technology). This was reflected in 5 sessions on the phenomena of aging, ambient technology, human interfaces, sensor technology, and software technology.

Aging and Technology

Authors: Rosemarie Santora Lamm and Edwin Roth Lamm

Abstract
This paper presents the physical and mental changes related to the aging process and the limitations it presents for the elderly. Chronic diseases also limit function and ability to be independent. This limitation results in social isolation with psychological alterations including dementia. Technological interventions are a promising approach for minimizing these limitations. Technologies are also being developed to monitor elders and provide information to caregivers and health care providers. Automated living assistance systems promote elderly individuals’ ability to "age in place".

Aging Users are Still Users

Authors: Mary Shaw

Abstract
Today’s tech-savvy boomers will remain comfortable with technology as they age, though they may need different interfaces. They need help with evaluating technical resources, but they will continue to adapt, tailor, configure, and program those resources. They need assistants, not supervisors.

Ambient Assisted Living Systems - The Conflicts between Technology, Acceptance, Ethics and Privacy

Authors: Wolfgang L. Zagler, Paul Panek, and Marjo Rauhala

Abstract
Installing and using AAL Smart Home-systems in the homes of older people not only offers a tremendous potential for increasing safety and quality of life but may also evoke reluctance and anxiety. Will such a system become a "Big Brother" watching the steps and the behaviour of the inhabitants and betray them to their outside world? In several field-trials of an AAL Smart Home-system with inhabitants of senior residences we were able to learn about the issues concerning acceptance, ethics and privacy when senior citizens and their care persons are confronted with this kind of technology for the first time.

Assisted and Independent Living - The User Perspective

Authors: Arthur I. Karshmer and Daryoush Farsi

Abstract
There is little doubt that the elderly population of the world is growing. The greatest growth in this segment of society happens to be in the industrialized nations and is becoming a serious public policy issue, which will have a dramatic economic impact. Many approaches to solving this problem have been presented from various perspectives. In the current work, we examine the challenges associated with the users of services for the elderly. While much of today’s discussion centers on technologies and best practices, it is essential that the user be considered in any proposed solutions.

Assisted Living Systems: Human Factors Considerations

Authors: Johnell O. Brooks

Abstract
Although many older adults wish to live independently, remaining in their own homes as long as possible, they may face obstacles such as transportation issues, social isolation, upkeep of the home, and increasing in-home care costs, which prevent them from doing so. The use of technology within the home, through technology-based assisted living systems, has the potential to alleviate some of these obstacles. Incorporating human factors principles to maximize safety, efficiency, and usability is key to the development of these systems.

Assisting age related capabilities by ambient technology to prevent functional decline

Authors: Mehmet Gövercin, Richard Willmann, Gerd Lanfermann, Tobias Kraft, Stefan Mix, and Elisabeth Steinhagen-Thiessen

Abstract
The elderly is characterized by age related capabilities and handicaps. Whereas age related capabilities like plasticity and adaptability on changing living conditions can lead to subjective well-being and support the recovery of limiting conditions like disease and disability, age related handicaps can enforce these conditions. Multimorbidity can lead to acute and chronic functional decline, especially when limiting conditions are enforced by age related handicaps. In a "circulus vitiosus" disease and disability threaten the independence of the elderly that leads to immobility, social isolation, depression and other health conditions with amplification and generation of new diseases. Ambient Technology has the potential to interrupt this "circulus vitiosus" by limiting age related handicaps, assist age related capabilities, prevent acute or chronic diseases and as a consequence can improve the quality of life of elderly and their care giving relatives. In this overview we demonstrate a brief summary of past experience with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as part of Ambient Technology (AT) in the "TeleReha" project and ongoing approaches in the "Vitanet" project and the "FOG-1" project followed by a future considerations conducting ICT-Project in elderly.

Assistive Technology for Successful Aging: Perspectives from Developmental Behavioral and Neuroscience

Authors: Shu-Chen Li, Michael Schellenbach, and Ulman Lindenberger

Abstract
Growing into old age is a personal privilege and a societal achievement. However, it is also a challenge for both the individuals and societies. The impressive gains in extending average physical longevity to 75 years and beyond is not necessary accompanied by high-levels of physical, psychological, and brain "fitness". Thus, it is important to seek ways to help older adults maintaining functions in these domains in order to maintain life quality in old age. Adaptive assistive devices and environments are promising technological advancements for promoting successful aging. Sufficient plasticity in the aging psychological and neurocognitive systems are necessary for technologies to engender desired effects. Designs and evaluations of assistive technologies need to consider dynamic changes in developmental resources across the lifespan. This paper reviews evidence of behavioral and neurocognitive plasticity in old age and highlights psychological principles for successful aging technologies.

Ethical Assessment in the Design of Ambient Assisted Living

Authors: Veikko Ikonen and Eija Kaasinen

Abstract
This paper tackles on ethical issues that are relevant when designing new technological service systems for the assisted living. In this paper we present our preliminary ethical guidelines that are built on six ethical principles that are selected based on the ethical assessment of MINAmI scenarios. The aim of ethical assessment is to conclude concrete and clear ethical guidelines that could be used as check lists in MINAmI platform design, demonstrator design and further in general in designing applications onto the MINAmI platform. We assume that this kind of checklist is also useful for other Ambient Assisted Living type of developmental work.

Functional Changes in Older Adults: Impact on Home Technology Design

Authors: Victor A. Hirth

Abstract
The aging demographic being experienced by all western countries has significant impact on health care utilization as well as the ability to remain in independent living situations. Chronic medical conditions and functional disability impair older adults’ ability to remain independent. Ambient assisted living technologies may help less the burden of disability and increase the likelihood of older adults remaining independent into their later years.

Integrated Human Behavior Modeling

Authors: Michael Berger, Dagmar Beyer, and Stephan Prueckner

Abstract
In order to prevent emergencies or critical situations where humans are the origin, a timely provision of information thus obtained for the coordinating services and the on-site staff (e.g., emergency dispatch centers, emergency physicians, police) is necessary. The detection of critical situations and the early alarming, e.g., in case of deterioration of the person’s health status or a critical incident in a public space like a stadium, could prevent acute emergency cases and the resulting negative impact on individual persons and the environment. To analyze the current situation, the human behavior must be understood, analyzed and modeled on the basis of, e.g., monitored activities, user mobility, and selected biological parameters. Only an integrated and comprehensive human behavior model can be the basis for the prevention of emergency cases.

Authors: Martin Floeck and Lothar Litz

Abstract
A brief overview over a real-world Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) project in Kaiserslautern, Germany, is given. It does not only incorporate scientific re-search but also involves the prospective senior users right from the beginning. The authors’ perception of AAL is characterized as follows: The aspects of safety, comfort, health, and communication cannot be separated but need to be addressed simultaneously. To achieve this, only off-the-shelf home automation devices are used to limit the hardware costs. Every developer, however, should be careful not to overrate the capabilities of modern technology. To create AAL environments worth living in, social environments of the addressed AAL users must be identified and conserved in their new surrounding.

Multimodal Interaction for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL)

Authors: Max Mühlhäuser

Abstract
Ambient Assisted Living calls for considerable advancements in user interfaces, compared to conventional computers and applications. Multimodal interaction plays an important role in this context. The contribution start from the broader perspective of ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing, discussing major requirements imposed on multimodal interaction and interactive software development. These more general requirements are then briefly revised with respect to AAL specific issues.

Policy-based Home Care Systems

Authors: Feng Wang

Abstract
It is accepted that home care systems need to be customised and personalised for individual person. They also need to evolve over time. Besides, conflicts may occur between care services. We propose applying policy-based management in home care systems to facilitate the delivery and evolution of home care systems, and help the detection and resolution of conflicts in these systems.

Reference Architecture for Ambient Intelligence

Authors: Reiner Wichert

Abstract
A lot of software infrastructures for distributed device ensembles with quite different approaches have been developed in the past. This article describes the need of a reference architecture for real ad-hoc cooperation of distributed device ensembles which must support self-organization of its components. Self-organization means that the independence of the ensembles’ components is ensured, that the ensemble is dynamically extensible by new components and that real distributed implementation is possible.

Sensor Technologies for AL Systems Integrated Health Monitoring and Emergency Call System

Authors: Roc Berenguer Perez

Abstract
Most developed countries are facing an ageing population, leading to an increasing demand on both health care and social welfare systems. There is a general agreement that these increasing needs can not be met by increasing the provision of hospital care or other forms of institutional care. Therefore, home care is an obvious alternative to meet the future needs of the elderly people. In this way, new home sensor networks need to be developed. The presented position statement establishes the basis for future integrated health monitoring and Emergency call system based on vital signs sensors.

Sensors for AAL – what is actually missing?

Authors: Gerhard Tröster

Abstract
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) relies on continuously monitored and reliable data describing the vital status, the situation and the behavior of the elderly. Wearable, on-body sensing, computing and communication systems will outperform the "ambient intelligence" approach, at least in the near future. Future wearable systems consist of a "Smart Phone" as the personal computing and communication hub, and on-body sensors, mainly integrated in the clothes.

Software Architecture Trends and Promising Technology for Ambient Assisted Living Systems

Authors: Martin Becker

Abstract
Driven by the ongoing demographical, structural, and social changes in all modern, industrialized countries, there is a huge interest in IT-based equipment and services these days that enable independent living of people with specific needs. Despite of promising concepts, approaches and technology, those systems are still rather a vision than reality. In order to pave the way towards a common understanding of the problem and overall software solution approaches, this paper (i) characterizes the Ambient Assisted Living domain, (ii) briefly presents relevant software architecture trends, esp. applicable styles and patterns and (iii) discusses promising software technology already available to solve the problems.

Some important aspects of Medical and Nursing House Call sustaining Assisted Living of Ageing Population

Authors: Basile Spyropoulos, Aris Tzavaras, Maria Botsivaly, Manolis Moschidis, Kostantina Mertika, Periklis Sochos, and Kostas Koutsourakis

Abstract
Although the house call a decade ago was declared a vanishing practice, statistics show an upwelling of home visits by physicians, in the developed countries, during the last ten years. A major reason for this is the radical alteration of the contents of the physicians’ black bag that beyond the stethoscope includes also, a Personal Digital Assistant with embedded Cell-phone safekeeping detailed patient-records, sophisticated point-of-care diagnostic equipment and reagents, along with other technical means, that allow for providing care, comparable to that of an emergency room, at home. It is the purpose of the present study to explore the most important issues concerning the emerging contemporary house call Medical Practice, and to present the technical and managerial means we have developed, in order to support the adaptation of an ancient medical ritual and a traditional intervention mode, to the 21st Century managed care needs.

The impact of sensor-enhanced regional health information systems

Authors: Klaus-Hendrik Wolf, Michael Marschollek, Jürgen Howe, and Reinhold Haux

Abstract
The expected economic impact of new health enabling technologies is often used as motivation for their development. Another motivation is the predicted positive impact on health care in general. The objective of this paper is to give a simple example for an economic calculation based on statistical data. A positive effect on health care in general can only be gained if the new technologies are sustainably integrated in health care processes.
