为人们留在家中提供支持的环境辅助生活（AAL）服务越来越多地被用于世界各地的卫生保健系统。通常，这些环境辅助生活服务通过位置感知、存在感知和情境感知功能提供额外的信息，这些功能源于在接受护理的人家中大量使用包括传感器和执行器在内的电信设备。此外，还需要在上下文中向本地和远程涉众提供抽象信息。利用融合网络有许多不同的查看选项，由此产生的数据和信息爆炸导致了一个新问题，因为这些新的环境辅助生活服务难以向不同的终端用户群体传达有意义的信息。本文从不同终端用户群体需求的角度讨论了数据的可视化，并讨论了如何需要算法来跨地点和时间进行上下文化和传递信息。为了说明这些问题，介绍了目前为痴呆症患者提供夜间AAL服务的工作。
Ambient assisted living (AAL) services that provide support for people to remain in their homes are increasingly being used in health-care systems around the world. Typically, these ambient assisted living services provide additional information though location-awareness, presence-awareness, and context-awareness capabilities, arising from the prolific use of telecommunications devices including sensors and actuators in the home of the person receiving care. In addition there is a need to provide abstract information, in context, to local and remote stakeholders. There are many different viewing options utilizing converged networks and the resulting explosion in data and information has resulted in a new problem, as these new ambient assisted living services struggle to convey meaningful information to different groups of end users. The article discusses visualization of data from the perspective of the needs of the differing end user groups, and discusses how algorithms are required to contextualize and convey information across location and time. In order to illustrate the issues, current work on night-time AAL services for people with dementia is described.
