Preface
Aging demographics and declining health in older adults are predicted to put
unaffordable pressures on care systems. Innovation is therefore required in order to
cope with these societal challenges.
The aim of ambient assisted living (AAL), through the use of intelligent products
and the provision of remote care services, is to extend the time in which older people
can live in their home environment by increasing their autonomy and assisting them in
carrying out activities of daily living. These solutions include innovative concepts to
ensure person-centered care. They consider the growing importance of both formal and
informal caregivers across public and private sectors and seek to deliver sustainable
care services and to maximize the opportunity for technologies to support care.
This volume presents cutting-edge research in the development and testing of AAL
solutions to support older adults to live independently for longer. The contributions
have been curated from submissions to IWAAL 2015, the 7th International
Work-conference on Ambient Assisted Living, which was held December 1–4, in
Puerto Varas, Patagonia, Chile.
This specialized conference, now in its seventh year, focuses specifically on the
opportunities to utilize ICT to improve quality of life and support autonomy. IWAAL
approaches this problem from a technology, human, and business perspective, therefore
covering a range of important topics including: self-management/self-care, health
monitoring, context awareness, personalization, social integration, knowledge man-
agement, integration and interoperability, exploitation strategies, and commercializa-
tion. This volume includes 28 articles from internationally recognized researchers from
15 countries. Following the review process we had an acceptance rate of 77 % for long
papers. A total of 100 reviews were undertaken to reach these decisions. We would like
to thank all the authors who submitted their work for consideration and also the
reviewers who provided detailed and constructive reviews, all in a timely manner.
Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our colleagues for their
hard work in the organization of this event, particularly Sergio Ochoa from the
University of Chile and Jose Bravo from Castilla-La Mancha University. We would
also like to thank all the members of the Program Committee for their time and
contributions.
