Paper Abstract:
|
Our seniors deserve better quality of life and more integration into the mainstream of the society. Fulfilling the needs of elderly people is one of the most imperative problems in Western societies that still have no adequate answers from the responsible authorities. Previous efforts aimed at introducing computerized social aid systems at the home of elderly users have failed due to a number of reasons. An innovative approach to home delivered assistance services proposed in the EC funded project SAID is based on two key concepts: innovative interfaces using the TV as the only required terminal and intelligent services oriented to true personalization and permanent user monitoring. |
