Summary

In this chapter, we present a background on the state of the art regarding Ambient/Active Assisted Living (AAL) related topics (i.e., Ambient Sensing, Medical Technology, and Geriatrics and Sociology). Later in the book we present the basis for current, new, and common technologies on the market (presented in Chapter 4), and ongoing research in AAL (examples presented in Chapter 5). The presented interdisciplinary content consists of social, engineering, medical, electrical, and mechatronics science, and together, they encompass the field of AAL, as well as eHealth.
