A Framework for Supporting Ambient Assisted Living for Users of Special Needs

Healthcare improvements cannot be ignored, especially in the face of advanced technology. Technology also plays a critical role in controlling the spread of viral diseases and providing assistance to physically challenged people. The organization of many health services is heterogeneous, and they often work in isolation from each other. This adversely affects the provision of a better quality of services, integration between them, and creates new issues. This paper has proposed a framework for supporting ambient assisted living. The framework integrates all services in one place and enables cooperation amongst them to make them smart services. In doing so, a review of the available services, used in the proposed framework, is also conducted. The proposed framework is designed to act as a broker between service providers and end-users, which would enhance the accessibility and usability of the services.
