Abstract

To identify the design issues that should be addressed for developing Ambient Information Systems (AIS) that effectively assist elderly with their ADLs (i.e. medicating), a case study was carried out to identify the kind of support that elderly may need for medicating. The proposed AIS provides the elderly with ambient aids to: remind them to medicate (Remind-Me system); guide the medication (GUIDE-Me system), and encourage elders to medicate (CARe-Me system). These AIS will be evaluated to determine their utility and the users' acceptance, which will enable us to conclude whether the identified design dimensions of AIS are appropriate to assist elderly.
