Abstract
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) approaches usually focus on covering indoor environments, however, when users leave their houses, or some health facilities, they could benefit from some services commonly provided in AAL spaces. Expanding the coverage of AAL systems imposes challenges, particularly in the case of the user's migration through different environments covered by AAL services. In this work we approach the problem of ensuring the handover of AAL services, allowing users to move freely through diverse AAL spaces, while AAL services are continuously and seamlessly provided. We proposed a flexible framework for supporting service handover in the design of AAL services. To show the feasibility of our approach, we designed and evaluated a prototype of a continuous health monitoring system, supporting handover in three simulated environments: a house, a gym and an outdoor space. Results demonstrated our approach is able to tackle many competences that some other related AAL platforms are not.
