Europe is facing major socio-demographic changes. The ratio of elderly people to the entire population is constantly growing, while the corresponding ratios of younger age groups, especially the working population, are decreasing. Furthermore, ageing combined with an increasing burden of chronic, concurrent diseases threatens to make the current models of healthcare unsustainable. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), as a specific user-oriented type of “Ambient Intelligence”, may greatly help in this situation.

eCAALYX—Enhanced Complete Ambient Assisted Living Experiment (June 2009 - May 2012) is a three-year project funded by the European Commission under the AAL Joint Programme (Strategic Objectives addressed: ICT-based Solutions for Prevention and Management of Chronic Conditions of Elderly People). The project builds on the strengths of the infrastructure and functionality already developed in the original CAALYX project (2007/2008).
