AAL@MEO: Interactive Digital-TV to Support Home Care

This paper presents the evaluation of the AAL@MEO, an application to aggregate technological solutions supporting home care. This application is intended to be integrated in the MEO service, which is a Portuguese commercial service of Internet Protocol TV. The use of a TV set at home as the central interaction and communication system is advantageous for elderly users that do not have a close relationship with technological advances but are used to control their TV set. The results of the evaluation of the AAL@MEO show that elderly users are willing for new services and have a milder rejection towards the interaction with the TV set. However, the interaction mechanisms based on a remote control with multiple functions need further developments.
