Q&A Discussion

Rationale

Self management of one’s chronic condition(s) can play an important role in sustaining autonomy and wellbeing.  In AAL several projects are developing ICT based solutions to support self management for older people. They consist of personally monitored and tailored programmes for training or daily life activities.

In this session we will give an overview of AAL solutions for self management, categorized on several dimensions. For example

–    the type of content(e.g. self management of physical activity, daily task structure, social relations).  

–    the level of cognitive activity that is supported (e.g. support through implicit motivation or support of daily living activities).  

–    the amount and type of feedback and type of measures that the system generates.

Related aspects of self management will be discussed and taxonomy of existing AAL solutions for this area will be presented. Prototype systems from AAL projects will be presented as case studies. The AAL taxonomy is helpful for users searching the market for systems that could meet their needs. The taxonomy also provides a guideline for further innovation in existing or new systems.
