Designing ambient systems to help frail people

The first part of this book is dedicated to research projects for relational services on connected TV, designed to combat the social isolation of dependent people. It is based on a multi-disciplinary co-design approach, including close collaboration with sociologists to better understand uses and needs. Following the definition of a package of adapted services, the removal of technical obstacles and the development of robust prototypes, long-term experiments in real-life conditions were carried out.The second part deals with the design of more intelligent homes and living environments. It covers services such as actimetry and coaching, which must respect the individual and attract his or her support, as well as major technical issues such as the interoperability of open, distributed IoT systems. Finally, artificial intelligence approaches are mobilized to analyze the data collected, in particular for human activity recognition, which is essential for many scenarios involving assistance in daily life.
