The GiraffPlus experience: from laboratory settings to test sites robustness (Short Paper)

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems should offer services to the users that should be designed, tested, and delivered in real scenarios to gain robustness. This paper explores the issues of creating end-to-end services for older adults and their caregivers deploying an AAL system at home. It describes the work done for designing added value services starting from a state-of-the-art continuous data gathering infrastructure. The paper presents the general idea and its basic ingredients, then it focuses on the work done for creating services on top of the data gathering layer. In particular, it dwells on the used deployment approach and provides the results from one particular test site.
