Implement prototype extensions to cover other aspects of well-being surveillance, such as air quality monitoring to detect fire or high concentration of carbon monoxide or automated control of air quality/cleaning devices. Further, actuator nodes could be used to display reminders in the event of anomaly detection (e.g., to switch off the oven or to take medication).
Integrate a computational infrastructure to enable deriving more abstract (i.e., higher level) information, which may be processed by context-aware application components [51,52].
The deployment of real AAL systems engages substantial labor and financial investments; this highlights the increasing importance of simulations in AAL research [53,54]. Along this line, the use of AAL-tailored simulators would enable thorough experimentation with the architectural and technical elements of UbiCare under different application scenarios and environmental configurations.
