Abstract

This special session aims to carry forward discussions on
Active Assisted Living (AAL), focusing on both new technologies for
older adults and the various social aspects of their development. The
papers cover different aspects of the special theme. Some detail the creation or introduction of tailored technologies to meet the specific needs of
seniors, including monitor technologies and an interactive system. Others explore methods like co-design and new heuristics to ensure these
systems truly address real-world needs. While yet others focus on topics
of concern, such as ageist biases of computer science graduates and
designing living spaces to better allow existing technologies to be integrated.
Overall, the papers recognize the unique challenges of developing
systems for older adults while acknowledging the diversity within this
age group.
