                Project description
                PaeLIFE is a European Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme (AAL JP) Project with
                a consortium of eight partners from Portugal, France, Hungary and Poland. Our Project
                focuses on individuals who are recently retired and who are used to some level of tech-
                nology usage and who want to keep themselves active, productive and socially engaged.
                PaeLIFE is our proposal for a Personal Life Assistant, a new solution of Human-Computer
                Interaction, making it easier and more natural for elderly to interact with computers and
                technology.

     The above diagram displays the percentage of every-
day activities that could be assisted by such a device. The
popularity of emailing and talking with friends and fam-
ily is above 70%. Editing a calendar (64,9%) and check-
ing the weather report (64%) are also important for the
elderly. The survey and the workshops showed that the
use of social networks is getting popular among elderly.           The system will offer a main unit to host the system

is part of the PaeLIFE project will produce feedback and
recommendations as part of an iterative design process.
                                                                    •     Blog
Aging occurs on many levels and when adapting the de-
sign for the elderly, the context of use and the type of user
must be taken into account, to ensure that the technology
developed (i) is easy and efficient to use and (ii) provides
the features that the elderly need. Identifying these spe-
cific requirements and general usability “problems” will
be the basis for continuously improving the usability of
the interface. Complementary techniques, both qualita-
tive and quantitative – interviews, user feedback, usabil-
ity tests, field trials, log file analysis and focus groups –
will be used at three different stages, according to their
coherence with the level of progression in the iterative
design process.

   Speech Data Collection
    The Speech Data Collection Campaign, which in-
volves the collection of speech provided by people using
an online platform tool, is now ongoing in France, Hun-
gary and Poland. We are confident of reaching the aim
of 100 hours of pure speech (speech without pause) over
the next few months of the project.
    The Speech Data Collection is essential for the de-
velopment of the PaeLIFE final product, where speech
will form an important part of the multimodal interface.
Therefore we are always looking for people who would
be willing to contribute and be a part of this project. The
requirements for participation are to be over 60 years old,
to be born in one of the countries stated below, to have
good reading skills.
    If you are interested in participating in this project, or
know anyone who would like to donate their voice and
who meets the criteria above, please contact the main co-
ordinator of the following countries:

PaeLife Newsletter 3 (English)

  • 1. PaeLIFE Newsletter M ARCH 2013, N O #3 Project description PaeLIFE is a European Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme (AAL JP) Project with a consortium of eight partners from Portugal, France, Hungary and Poland. Our Project focuses on individuals who are recently retired and who are used to some level of tech- nology usage and who want to keep themselves active, productive and socially engaged. PaeLIFE is our proposal for a Personal Life Assistant, a new solution of Human-Computer Interaction, making it easier and more natural for elderly to interact with computers and technology.

  • 2. System’s main objective is to improve and simplify access to social media services, email, calendar, and videocon- ference communications, and to improve social inclusion by stimulating communication between elderly and their friends and family. The above diagram displays the percentage of every- day activities that could be assisted by such a device. The popularity of emailing and talking with friends and fam- ily is above 70%. Editing a calendar (64,9%) and check- ing the weather report (64%) are also important for the elderly. The survey and the workshops showed that the use of social networks is getting popular among elderly. The system will offer a main unit to host the system Nowadays, more and more people have a Facebook ac- server components and also to present media content on count to follow news and look at the pictures posted by a big screen.

Usability Evaluation of PaeLIFE technologies Further information In order to be informed regarding the paelife commu- nity and its activities online, please join us on: The PaeLIFE project gives a lot of importance to “the user” in its design process. Through the survey and work- shops, user requirements have been collected and consid- • Twitter ered from the beginning. Elderly people will continue to • Linked In actively participate in the process of evaluating the tech- nologies being developed. The usability evaluation that • Slideshare is part of the PaeLIFE project will produce feedback and recommendations as part of an iterative design process. • Blog Aging occurs on many levels and when adapting the de- sign for the elderly, the context of use and the type of user must be taken into account, to ensure that the technology developed (i) is easy and efficient to use and (ii) provides the features that the elderly need. Identifying these spe- cific requirements and general usability “problems” will be the basis for continuously improving the usability of the interface. Complementary techniques, both qualita- tive and quantitative – interviews, user feedback, usabil- ity tests, field trials, log file analysis and focus groups – will be used at three different stages, according to their coherence with the level of progression in the iterative design process. Speech Data Collection The Speech Data Collection Campaign, which in- volves the collection of speech provided by people using an online platform tool, is now ongoing in France, Hun- gary and Poland. We are confident of reaching the aim of 100 hours of pure speech (speech without pause) over the next few months of the project. The Speech Data Collection is essential for the de- velopment of the PaeLIFE final product, where speech will form an important part of the multimodal interface. Therefore we are always looking for people who would be willing to contribute and be a part of this project. The requirements for participation are to be over 60 years old, to be born in one of the countries stated below, to have good reading skills. If you are interested in participating in this project, or know anyone who would like to donate their voice and who meets the criteria above, please contact the main co- ordinator of the following countries: • Hungary: Tibor Fegyó - fegyo@tmit.bme.hu • Poland: Artur Kolesi´ ski - artur.kolesinski@ssw.org.pl n • France: David Hewson - david.hewson@utt.fr Newsletter template from HowToTeX.com Page 3
