Abstract:
As the world’s population ages, Ambient Assisted Living becomes a topic of considerable interest. At present, multimodal user interfaces in Ambient Assisted Living systems are an important research area. The contribution of this paper is to ascertain the needs of caregivers and family members, pertaining to the activities of daily living information of the elderly, discuss how these needs are best presented, and analyse existing user interfaces in Ambient Assisted Living systems based on the identified criteria. This paper concludes by highlighting the scarcity of research in the area of user interfaces and outlining future work to enrich the design of user interfaces.
