Call for papers:

The ageing of the world's populations has created a situation where social
support services are struggling to keep up with the increasingly complex
medical, social, and infrastructural needs of the elderly. In response to
these needs, enabling older people to remain in their homes longer while
maintaining the greatest possible level of activity and independence has
become a priority in many countries. New research aiming at supporting this
goal has explored technological paradigms such as ambient assisted living
(AAL), ambient intelligence and "smart homes", assistive and cognitive
robotics, and virtual agents, underpinned by advances in machine learning,
embedded systems, automation, wireless sensor networks, and mobile devices.
The concept of virtual coaching, where a computing system provides or
directs relevant health and well-being advice to an older person based on
that person's relevant physiological and behavioural data, has been a focus
of current research aimed at improving the quality of life of the ageing
population living at home. This special issue of International Journal of
Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) invites the submission of
new research papers, reviews, case reports and substantially extended
conference papers, including interdisciplinary work, focusing on the current
state of knowledge in this area.

The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is
fully open access. Manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first decision
provided to authors approximately 15.26 days after submission. An Article
Processing Charge (APC) of CHF 2300 currently applies to all accepted
papers. You may be entitled to a discount if you have previously received a
