摘要：
This paper presents a system that exploits the synergy between wearable/mobile technology and smart caring environments to support caregivers in Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) for persons with physical and cognitive disabilities. In particular, this healthcare support system allows caregivers to be automatically alerted of potentially hazardous situations that happen to the inhabitants while these are alone. The design stemmed from six system requirements derived from the results of three focus groups conducted with 30 caregivers of different ALFs in Northern Italy.
