Joint visuAAL-GoodBrother Conference on trustworthy video- and audio-based
assistive technologies

18-20 June 2024, Alicante, Spain

https://goodbrother.eu/conferences/joint-visuaal-goodbrother-conference/

Paper submission deadline: 10 April 2024

Active and Assisted Living (AAL) technologies and services are a possible
solution to address the crucial challenges regarding health and social care
resulting from demographic changes and current economic conditions. AAL
systems aim to improve quality of life and support independent and healthy
living of older and frail people. Cameras and microphones have been applied
to diverse AAL solutions, supporting active and healthy ageing, e.g.
activity recognition, gait analysis, fall detection and prevention,
rehabilitation, social communication, personal assistants, promotion of
healthy lifestyles, physiological monitoring, and support to caregivers.

However, cameras and microphones are often perceived as the most intrusive
technologies from the viewpoint of the privacy of the monitored individuals.
This is due to the richness of the information that these technologies
convey and the intimate setting where they may be deployed in. Therefore,
solutions able to ensure privacy preservation by context and design as well
as to ensure high legal and ethical standards are in high demand.

This conference aims to give forum for contributions presenting and
discussing audio-, image- and video-based applications for active assisted
living as well as initiatives proposing ethical and privacy-aware solutions.

This conference is organised by the  <https://goodbrother.eu/> GoodBrother
COST Action (CA19121) on Privacy-Aware Audio- and Video-Based Applications
for Active and Assisted Living and the  <https://www.visuaal-itn.eu/>
visuAAL Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network on Privacy-Aware
and Acceptable Video-Based Technologies and Services for Active and Assisted
Living. The aim of these projects is to bridge the knowledge gap between
users' requirements and the appropriate and secure use of audio- and
video-based AAL technologies to deliver effective and supportive care to
older adults managing their health and wellbeing. They seek to increase
awareness and understanding of the context-specific ethical, legal, privacy
and societal issues necessary to implement visual system across hospital,
home, and community settings, in a manner that protects and reassures users;
outputs will stimulate the development of a new research perspective for
constructively addressing privacy-aware video-based working solutions for
assisted living.
