HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION SERIES USABILITY A...

Worldwide  the population ageing is a reality. The concept of Active Ageing  adopted by the
World Health Organization  aims to guarantee quality ageing and appears as a strategy to solve
this demographic challenge. The technological solutions might have a key role in the promotion
of human functioning and in the mitigation of disabilities  particularly those resulting from
the natural ageing process. This perspective is evident in the development of Ambient Assisted
Living (AAL) solutions.In this context  it is relevant to know about the recent developments in
AAL and discuss future trends and challenges in this area. One of the objectives of this book
is to do a systematic literature review on AAL  not only considering the technology used  but
also the health condition that is intended to improve. For this purpose  we consider the human
functioning  in particular the conceptual model of International Classification of Functioning
Disability and Health (ICF). Considering that the ICF conceptual framework is accepted within
the healthcare domain  the use of its concepts and terminologies to promote multidisciplinary
approaches for AAL solutions development processes can help to overcome difficulties of
communication between users  careers and technological developers. AAL solutions must consider
in their development the needs of the person that will use AAL solutions. The development must
be user-centred and usability questions cannot be forgotten. In addition  the acceptance of the
AAL solutions is closely related to the quality of the systems  so it is necessary to
appropriately assess these solutions.
