Best Practices on Personalization and Adaptive Interaction Techniques in the Scope of Smart Homes and Active Assisted Living

Assistive systems and emerging technologies can support individuals with specific needs and diseases effectively. Nonetheless, in the domain of Smart Homes (SH), the interactions tend to become more complex and difficult to adapt to the users, creating a bottleneck for the efficient use and the acceptability of the interventions. This paper presents best practices on personalization and adaptive interaction techniques in order to homogenize different solutions within the SH, ease the interaction acceptability by adaptation to specific user needs and implement better healthcare interventions able to improve the Quality of Life (QoL). The recommendations arise as a result of previous research studies conducted within the MSCA-ITN project ACROSSING.
