Sensors for AAL - what is actually missing?
نویسنده
چکیده
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.
