Abstract

In this paper we present a data quality oriented method for the assessment of efficacy of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) technologies. The method evaluates the efficacy by measuring the data quality of the technologies along the dimensions of accuracy, completeness, timeliness and interpretability. The method was evaluated on four activities of daily living (ADL) products by Any Group: Door guard, Living room guard, Bed guard and Toilet guard. The evaluation revealed the data quality issues of the technologies; thus the method may be effective to evaluate the efficacy of AAL technologies.
