Abstract:
An individual’s Activities of Daily Living (ADL) are difficult to accurately measure in Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems. Such ADLs are invariably, in part, verified using technologies requiring key user interactions. The User Interface (UI) applied to these living systems is critical in order that the elderly achieve their daily living milestones of health supervision, social engagement, physical movement or daily prompts. In order to bootstrap effective machine learning necessitates accurate daily user interaction. This paper reviews AAL system interface’s and seeks to establish if ADL measurement accuracy could improve if UI’s were prioritised within system development.
