Smart City Technology meets Smart Healt...

Active and Assisted Living (AAL) systemshave been developed over the last decade to improve the quality of life,independence and well-being of the elderly. In the future, there will be anincreased need to embed context sensitive AAL systems in an existing smartenvironment, equipped with built-in sensors, wearable sensors or smart devices.Especially in the health sector, AAL system architectures show similaritieswith application architectures in the field of Smart Homes or Smart Cities. Inall these domains the use of context-based middleware is essential. Internet ofThings (IoT) platforms, which are used particularly in the area of Smart Homesor Smart Cities, deal with a wider range of data than AAL middleware, for whichthere is no generally accepted solution yet. The aim of this paper is topresent a flexible, model-based coupling of context-based middleware, which iswidely accepted especially in the field of Smart Cities, with standardinterfaces for use in the AAL area. In this paper we use the project AYUDO asan AAL use case and FIWARE, an open IoT middleware platform, as a context-basedmiddleware candidate for this coupling.
