Abstract

During aging, older adults presents loss in their functional capabilities. This may cause that older adults do not continue performing their activities of daily living independently at home. We propose Ambient Information Systems (AIS) as the appropriate pervasive devices that can enrich the elders' activities and promote their autonomy during the execution of their tasks. For illustrating this, in this paper we present an AIS for supporting medicine administration. By designing AIS as the presented in this paper, we have identified design issues and characteristics to be incorporated in AIS for supporting elder's autonomy in their homes.
