目标：设计、实施和测试一个解决方案，基于智能电视技术和所有服务的访问，为家庭老年人提供社会和健康服务。方法：所提出的架构基于开放软件平台和标准个人计算硬件。这为在底层基础设施上开发新应用程序或集成新设备提供了极大的灵活性，例如在需要家庭监控的情况下监控广泛的生命体征。结果：设计、实施和部署了一个作为概念验证的实际系统。应用范围从社交网络客户端到生命体征监测；从互动电视竞赛到传统的在线护理应用程序，例如用药提醒或远程医疗。结论：在这两个案例中，结果都非常积极，证实了人们对电视作为一种方便、易于使用的技术来提供社会和医疗保健的最初看法。对于大多数高级用户来说，电视机是更熟悉的计算界面，因此，智能电视成为针对该用户群设计和实施应用程序和服务的最便捷的解决方案。意义：该提案已在 62 名老年人家中进行了真实环境测试。用户包括有使用计算机经验的人和其他不愿意使用计算机的人。
Objective: To design, implement, and test a solution to provide social and health services for the elderly at home based on smart TV technologies and access to all services. Methods: The architecture proposed is based on an open software platform and standard personal computing hardware. This provides great flexibility to develop new applications over the underlying infrastructure or to integrate new devices, for instance to monitor a broad range of vital signs in those cases where home monitoring is required. Results: An actual system as a proof-of-conceptwas designed, implemented, and deployed. Applications range from social network clients to vital signs monitoring; from interactive TV contests to conventional online care applications such as medication reminders or telemedicine. Conclusion: In both cases, the results have been very positive, confirming the initial perception of the TV as a convenient, easy-to-use technology to provide social and health care. The TV set is a much more familiar computing interface for most senior users, and as a consequence, smart TVs become a most convenient solution for the design and implementation of applications and services targeted to this user group. Significance: This proposal has been tested in real setting with 62 senior people at their homes. Users included both individuals with experience using computers and others reluctant to them.
