A unified cloud-based framework for AAL services provision to elderly with cognitive impairments

The present paper presents a unified cloud-based framework for offering Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) services to elderly with cognitive impairments aiming at prolonging and supporting their independent living, through interoperable, open, personalised and seamless ICT solutions. Through its cloud architecture that is based on the OSGi framework, the proposed framework enables easy registration and integration of AAL services to the platform and also easy, transparent, personalised and contextualised access to all the supported services to the cognitively impaired elderly end-users and their caregivers.
