AALUIS: Ambient Assisted Living user interfaces


Description

The aim of AALUIS is to facilitate the
connection of different services to different
types of user interfaces and thus
to enable future users of AAL systems
to use more services interacting in their
preferred way
The user interface (UI) is an important
feature of interaction between the human
and the machine (services). Thus,
the main focus of the project lies on
the development of innovative UIs and
a layer for the easy and standardized
integration of new and existing UIs. The
aim is to build these interfaces and the
connection layer on open and already
existing middleware platforms.
At the end of the project a framework
will be provided with a set of user descriptions
and suitable user profile settings
for the user interaction, new user
interfaces with adaptation possibilities
based on user profiles, the open source
AALUIS user interface layer where those
and other user interfaces can be connected
to and a set of AAL Services.
AALUIS aims to significantly contribute
to the freedom of choice for end-users
of services and users interfaces. This
will help to support de-stigmatization of
care products and put them on a selfserve
continuum from ‘Comfort to Care
to Cure’.
