报告内容：The world population report predicts that the life expectancy at birth will rise from 71 years in 2010-2015 to 77 years in 2045-2050 (United, 2017). Most countries face the problems to ensure that their health systems are ready to adapt to the demographic shift. Therefore, the family members, caregivers or community centre may worry about older people’s health condition, daily routines and safety status when older people live alone. Providing this group of older people with conventional cares might mean an extra cost, and even disturbances for everyday life. Population ageing affects human quality of life, especially in health care, e.g., rise in health care cost, ineffective and insufficient care. Thus, ageing populations pose a number of challenges to families, communities and societies. A key research issue is to provide more accurate, unobtrusive, low-cost and practical assisted technologies for the elderly, and to help them live independently at home as long as possible in the future. The assisted technologies for elderly people are emerging in these years, which aim to offer alternative solutions to help maintain or improve their quality of life by using associated technologies. This talk is about current research work and future prospects and innovation of ICT enabled health care from theory and practice perspective, especially concentrate on activity recognition systems and monitoring the elderly’s specific activities and their long-term behaviour pattern which enable to lead a healthy lifestyle and to stay alone in a safety condition and for elderly people.
