Support for ECHONET-based smart home environments in the universAAL ecosystem

With the advent of information and communication technology, many Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solutions are being proposed to increase the quality of life of elderly people and reduce health and social care costs. Among these AAL solutions, universAAL seems to be the most promising platform for easy and economical development of AAL services. However, in its current state, the platform is incompatible with smart home systems which are based on the ECHONET standard. This paper presents the bridging between the universAAL and ECHONET standards through a technical point of view and thereby enables AAL services for ECHONET-based smart home environments

Bridging between universAAL and ECHONET for smart home environment

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) pursues the issues of how information and communication technology (ICT) is used to support the quality of life (QoL) of the elderly and disabled people in smart home environment. Among the many AAL solutions, universAAL is one of the most open platforms that provides a holistic and standardized approach for an easy and economic development of AAL services. However, compatibility with smart home networking systems that are based on ECHONET standard is not supported. Therefore, this paper proposes a bridging in between the universAAL and the ECHONET standard and thereby enable the integration of new AAL services for ECHONET-based smart home automation systems
