Ambient Assisted Living

This book provides state-of-the-art information on ambient assisted living (AAL) and focuses on technologies, services, living spaces, policies, and interventions to promote health, improve quality of life, and active aging. It includes various research contributions, case studies, and projects where assistive technologies are successfully applied in the field, and it covers a wide range of topics: tailoring products and services to the aging society, bio-data and artificial sensing AAL scenarios, cognition, and technologies, and designing for inclusion and well-being. This book gathers the refereed proceedings of the 14th Italian Forum on Ambient Assisted Living (ForItAAL), held in Rome, Italy, on October 1316, 2025. With its wide-ranging contributions to the topic, this book inspires the readers and the researchers to continue their exploration of AAL technologies to support the development of products and services that make a real difference in people's daily lives.

Presents the state of the art in the field of ambient assisted living Explains the potential of methodologies and technologies to enhance well-being and active aging Offers a special focus on advanced monitoring and assessment systems for frail citizens
