22nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications - Workshops (aina workshops 2008)
Fundamental Needs in Intelligent Environments: Specificities for Older Adults
March 25-March 28
ISBN: 978-0-7695-3096-3
Older adults have specific needs and abilities reflected by their decline, activities, and use of technology. First, we present their cognitive, physical, physiological, and sensory characteristics, and their impact on fundamental needs. Then, we suggest and discuss dedicated systems exploiting intelligent environments to support physical and mental health, prevent falls and alert, multiply social contacts, and ensure self-esteem. Besides, proper design of arbitrary services must incorporate safety, integration, variabili?ty, senses, acceptance, and memory. Our most signifi?cant contribution is to provide the first overview of older adults’ specific needs in intelligent environments.
