Characterization and Classification of Existing Ambient Assisted Living Systems: A Systematic Literature Review

This chapter describes a systematic review that summarizes and characterizes existing literature on ambient assisted living (AAL). This presents an added value for the future development in this area. To be included in this review, articles must have defined innovative concepts or characterized innovative technologies, products, or systems that can contribute to the development of the AAL paradigm, with the aim of enabling people with specific demands (e.g., elderly) to live longer in their natural environment. AAL could therefore be translated best as intelligent systems of assistance for a better and safer life. Results indicate that most publications regarding AAL are technology-oriented with only a few articles found describing applications and scenarios. Another interesting finding is the effort made to adjust the technology to the characteristics and needs of the user considering the context in which the activity is taking place. Key WoRdS: ambient assisted living, elderly, intelligent systems systematic reviews.
