Managing Sensor Data in Ambient Assisted Living
The use of technology within the home has gained wide spread acceptance as one possible approach to be used in addressing the challenges
of an ageing society. A number of rudimentary assistive solutions are now being deployed in real settings but with the introduction
of these technology-orientated services come a number of challenges, which to date are still largely unsolved. At a fundamental
level, the management and processing of the large quantities of data generated from multiple sensors is recognised as one of the most
significant challenges. This paper aims to present an overview of the types of sensor technologies used within Ambient Assisted Living.
Subsequently, through presentation of a series of case studies, the paper will demonstrate how the practical integration of multiple
sources of sensor data can be used to improve the overall concept and applications of Ambient Assisted Livin
