In this book, leading authors in the field discuss developments of Ambient Assisted Living. The contributions have been chosen and invited at the 7th AAL congress, Berlin. It presents new technological developments which support the autonomy and independence of individuals with special needs. As the technological innovation raises also social issues, the book addresses micro and macro economical aspects of assistive systems and puts an additional emphasis on the ethical and legal discussion. The presentation is supported by real world examples and applications.

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) ist ein äußerst komplexes Feld mit hoher Dynamik. AAL-Technologien befinden sich meist im Forschungsstadium und sind dadurch nur als Prototypen oder Einzellösungen mit begrenztem Funktionsumfang erhältlich; ein funktionierender Markt existiert nicht. Der demographische Trend bedingt einen steigenden Bedarf an Alltagsunterstützung, besonders für Ältere und Hilfsbedürftige. Die Gesundheits-, Betreuungs- und Pflegesysteme müssen modernisiert und effizienter werden. Eine wichtige Rolle werden IuK-Technologien in den AAL-Szenarien spielen. Projektziel war die Untermauerung dieser Thesen und die Untersuchung der Realisierungspotentiale und -fristen. Nach einer Bestandsaufnahme der AAL-Technologien, technischen Voraussetzungen, wichtigsten Anwendungsfelder und der Akzeptanz erfolgten die · Untersuchungen der gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen, · Studiobefragungen zur Akzeptanz, · Spezifikation von Anwendungsszenarien mit gesundheitsökonomischer und SWOT-Analyse, · Untersuchung haftungsrechtlicher Fragen und · Bewertung nationaler Aktivitäten. Der Projektschlussbericht präsentiert die Untersuchungsergebnisse und bestätigt die o.g. Thesen. Zur Überwindung von Markthemmnissen wurden Handlungsempfehlungen an Politik, AAL-Community, Entwickler, und Betreiber von AAL-Anwendungen erarbeitet.
