EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
effect that avatars can have on user engagement, the move towards highly customised solutions, and ideas about possible challenges for the next call of the AAL Programme. There was also a brainstorming session on the obstacles that have kept valuable data sets from being made available to researchers.
Matching older adults’ aspirations Understanding what older adults want to maintain their independence and happiness and then translating that into solutions is the very core of what AAL is about. Putting this idea into practice is easier said than done, however, with a number of common pitfalls that stop from providing the user with what they need. This track included sessions on the importance of living labs, the latest developments and ethics of sensor monitoring, and the best ways to translate stakeholder requirements into products and services.
Interoperability resolved Interoperability between platforms and their components will allow for AAL solutions to be used in conjunction with each other to improve the overall experience for older adults. The concept promises to deliver excellent results if achieved, but there are many issues that prevent this from happening. This track explored how interoperability can be achieved in the future and what is currently holding it back.
