Abstract

While various technical approaches for constructing Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) applications/services have been proposed, it has become apparent that interoperability of AAL systems is the key challenge that has to be tackled for exploiting AAL technologies in their full potential. Equally important, there is a lack of tools that can support AAL system/application developers to implement systemic and affordable solutions. The objective of this work is to illustrate the design and development of a basic AAL application devoted to physical activity monitoring by exploiting the universAAL open platform and tools. Our main goal is to illustrate the procedure that developers have to follow for such a development as well as the benefits offered from the adoption of universAAL in terms of extensibility and interoperability.
