Abstract :
Technology has been adopted to mitigate adverse effects associated with aging. Ambient Assisted Living solutions provide user assistance and support which is potentially both efficient and effective. This paper describes initial evaluation results for a Multi-Agent system prototype that provides assistance and support during the day and night through an interface that is adapted according to a person´s requirements profile, time of day and current activity or event. Appropriate feedback based on user context is important. This includes historical feedback which may indicate trends, which may not be apparent, particularly where the user may be forgetful.
