“To know how to grow old is the master-work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living” wrote Henri-Frédéric Amiel. Therefore, it is necessary to know how to do it by helping us with a multidisciplinary approach that embraces the principles of human-centred design (HCD), technology and Internet of Things (IoT). These aspects that are seen sometimes as separate aspects are intertwined in this book creating new possibilities for the development of niche solutions for older users who are beginning to experience physical and cognitive decline but are still autonomous and need to preserve their autonomy for as long as possible. IoT encompasses the use of novel systems that include new generation sensors and microcontrollers connected to the Internet. These systems can be used for several applications of ambient-assisted living (AAL), which is a critical topic concerning the world’s population ageing. The combination between the needs expressed by older users and the opportunities offered by recent innovative technologies allows research institutions, stakeholders and academia to target and design new solutions for older users, safeguarding their well-being, health, and care and improving their quality of life. AAL architectures are created to meet the needs of older adults, with the aim of maintaining them autonomous for as long as possible. Thework conducted by numerous researchers worldwide makes it possible to create novel architectures, algorithms and systems to improve older adults’ life quality and well-being. The book presents the state of the art of the IoT, applied to human-centred design (HCD) projects addressed to ageing users, from the perspective of health, care, and well-being. The current focus on the ageing population is creating new possibilities for the development of niche solutions for older userswho are beginning to experience physical and cognitive decline but are still autonomous and need to preserve their autonomy for as long as possible. Moreover, it discusses and analyses themost recent services, products, systems and environments specifically conceived for older users, to enhance health, care, well-being and improve their quality of life. This approach is coherent with the percept of AAL or enhanced living environment, looking to the users’ comfort, autonomy, engagement and health care. This volume consists of eighteen chapters, divided into four sessions analysing aspects ofHCDwith older users looking at emerging technologies, products, services and environments in their actual application in different areas, always concerning the design for the elderly related to the IoT, such as the development of biomonitoring devices, tools for activity recognition and simulation, creation of smart living environments, solutions for their autonomy, assistance and engagement enhancing health, care and well-being. The project touches the five continents involving different countries as Australia, Belgium, India, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Portugal, Sri Lanka, Sweden, UK, and USA. To these authors, reviewers and book’s managers, we would like to express our gratitude for their enthusiasm and professionalism to participate in a timely and favourable manner in this challenge. We truly hope that the chapters in this book will contribute to fostering education, research and innovation among academics, stakeholders and research organisations.
