摘要：
Risk situations may affect elderly people during outdoor Activities of Daily Living. The gravity of this problem becomes more significant with the rapidly growing number of elderly people around the world. Assistive technology is a promising solution to enhance safety of elderly people in outdoor environment. It plays an essential role in providing them with a higher quality of life and autonomy. In this paper, we present the result of our study on major risk factors that affect elderly people during outdoor activities. We also discuss existing assistive technology across recent work related to outdoor risks. In addition, we provide a framework for existing assistive technology that addresses outdoor risks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review about major risks that affect elderly people in outdoor environments, and that describes technological solutions in the domain of ambient assistive technology.
