Ambient Assited Living (AAL)

This project aims to develop a novel life style and health management platform for elderly people living alone or with their families. It focuses on creating an open-architecture and open source service model where home-based and wearable (yet medically accurate and reliable) sensors provide data and information to a portable controller (such as a PDA or Internet Tablet) which not only collects them, but evaluate trends, provide advice on health, diet or workout regiment, and provides a transparent and redundant data link between the elderly person and his or her care takers. Besides connectivity the system also utilizes a AFI technology (see above) to deliver non-verbal feedback and encouragement in a readily discernable manner independent of language or culture.
