Abstract
This paper introduces a project named “Improvement of the Elderly Quality of Life and Care through Smart Emotion Regulation”. The objective of the project is to find solutions for improving the quality of life and care of the elderly who can or wants to continue living at home by using emotion regulation techniques. Cameras and body sensors are used for monitoring the elderlies’ facial and gestural expression, activity and behaviour, as well as relevant physiological data. This way the older people’s emotions are inferred and recognized. Music, colour and light are the simulating means to regulate their emotions towards a positive and pleasant mood.
