摘要
Many countries are confronted with aging societies. With the increasing need for elder care, it is necessary to investigate how technology can support aging in place. In this paper, we propose an ambient smart calendar system that supports the self-sufficiency and activeness of older adults. We report the results of a survey of older adults on their use of physical and digital calendars. Based on the results, we developed Caloo (Calendar of opportunities) - a prototypical smart wall calendar which supports older users by generating awareness about their daily schedules as well as supporting them in remaining active in their lives through event suggestions. We evaluated Caloo in a study with retired older adults. Overall, we received positive feedback and identified data sources for events, which the smart calendar can suggest to the user. Our results indicate the potential of deploying an ambient and pervasive smart calendar system that supports aging in place.
