Abstract

Nowadays, 13% of world’s population aged 60 years and over are dependent. AAL systems have to make the step forward and be deployed in large scale in order to respond to the needs of this population. In this paper, we present our feedback about our real deployments and the challenges we have faced during the path in order to be ready for our objective of a large scale deployment of 200 private houses. We hope this paper may help research teams to find solutions to similar problems and encourage them to externalize their solutions.
