Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue presents advances in human-Centered approaches for innovative solutions of ambient assisted living in healthcare and wellbeing.
Current advances in sensor technologies are opening new perspectives in the design of smart devices and spaces, enhancing the autonomy and quality of life of specific categories of fragile users needing constant personalized assistance.
Objects and environments enhanced with digital technologies allow the analysis and the recognition of a person’s habits, preferences, behaviors, and health status, making it possible for effective personalization of the developed solutions. Ambient assisted living looks to individual comfort, autonomy, and healthcare, using emerging technologies for the creation of smart living environments and promoting the engagement of people in taking advantage of smart solutions for daily monitoring, assistance, and medical care.
Moreover, the involvement of users in the design process, through co-design and other human-centered methodological practices, increases the level of acceptance, usability, and accessibility of the designed devices and services.
This Special Issue aims to collect accounts of recent advances in ambient assisted living with innovative applications in different research fields and novel methodologies for integrating quantitative and qualitative information aimed toward the satisfaction of people's needs. Both research papers and review articles submissions are welcome.
