Abstract

Population ageing due to declining fertility rates and/or rising life expectancy is poised to significantly transform our societies in the upcoming years. Although a lot of work has been done in the field of AAL for the creation of ICT solutions that will prolong and support the autonomous living of elderly individuals with cognitive impairments, these solutions are unable to meet all user needs and/or to provide an easy to use mechanism for further extension with new services. The present paper presents a cloud-based solution that provides easy, transparent, personalized and contextualized access to all the supported AAL services to the cognitively impaired elderly end-users and their caregivers by also offering a mechanism for easy registration and integration of new AAL services into the platform.
