论文摘要
本文讨论了物联网（IoT）范式在为老年人和脆弱人士的辅助生活的背景下，鉴于这些用户的特殊要求，无论是从功能和技术观点而言。我们强调某些方面通常被技术界（例如技术可接受性和可用性）所忽视的方面，我们描述了当前共同设计方法的框架和阶段，这暗示了最终用户在系统设计过程中的积极参与。因此，我们确定了一系列设计实践，以合并技术和脆弱的人的要求。讨论得到了Domho的描述，Domho是一种原型的AAL系统，该系统体现了本文中描述的大多数概念，并且正在庇护所中部署和测试，以供长老和共同建立残疾人。最后，我们讨论了当前方法的潜力和局限性，并提出了一些开放的挑战和未来的研究方向。
This paper discusses the potential of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm in the context of assisted living for elderly and fragile people, in the light of the peculiar requirements of such users, both from a functional and a technological perspective. We stress some aspects that are often disregarded by the technical community, such as technology acceptability and usability, and we describe the framework and the phases of the current co-design approaches that imply the active involvement of the final users in the system design process. Thereby, we identify a series of design practices to merge technical and fragile people's requirements. The discussion is backed up by the description of DOMHO, a prototypal IoT-based AAL system that embodies most of the concepts described in the paper, and that is being deployed and tested in a shelter house for elders, and in an apartment for the co-housing of individuals with disabilities. Finally, we discuss the potential and limits of the current approaches and present some open challenges and future research directions.
