• The students will be have a knowledge concerning age related diseases, changes, chronic conditions, effects/limitations on daily life and user/ need classification in the field of care and health.
• Students are familiar with relevant approaches in Assistive Technologies, AAL and Smart Living technologies in the field of health and care Further they will have a basic knowledge about Human Computer Interaction (HCI) for relevant AAL user groups and a basic knowledge about evaluation domains related to usability and acceptance of User interfaces and Assistive Technologies
• Further the students will have knowledge concerning selected approaches in the field of Applied Machine Learning in the field of ADL recognition. In relation to this they will have knowledge about practical implementation and deployment chain on Smart Home solutions

None

Fundamentals in the field of AAL
• Overview on age related diseases, changes, chronic conditions, effects/limitations on daily life and user/ need classification (e.g. ICF, ICD-10, etc.)
• Detailed Overview on related Assistive Technologies, AAL and Smart Living technologies in health and care for older people and people with impairments. Students will get insight in the concepts and
