Project motivation.: 

Project motivation. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) for Ageing Society is one of the key areas of development in the European Union. The aim is to extend the time during which elderly people can live independently in their preferred environment with the support of ICTs. It therefore targets the needs of the individual elderly person, their families and caretakers, rather than the health care institutions. This includes for example assistance to carry out daily activities, health and activity monitoring and enhancing safety and security. It also covers means to improve access to social, medical and emergency services, and to facilitate social contacts as well as access to context-based infotainment and entertainment.
