AbstractThe world population is ageing with a decreasing workforce of care personnel, with dementia as one of the largest challenges in long-term care (Gauthier et al., 2021). Assistive technologies and services on several aspects of lifestyle could be of support because dementia impacts the daily lifestyle of people with dementia (PwD) and (in)formal caregivers. The HAAL project proposes an approach of an integrated ecosystem; a bundle of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) products and an AI-driven dashboard. The vision of the HAAL project is to adopt Machine Learning to extract valuable information on a central dashboard. With global rapid development, user requirements for a state-of-the-art integrated ecosystem need iterative and local revisions. To achieve a feasible result, HAAL takes the Living Lab methodology (Bergvall-Kåreborn et al., 2009) as the core methodology – an approach of co-creation amongst stakeholders (i.e. researchers, PwD, informal caregivers, formal carers and technology developers). This research aims to study the end-users perceptions and opinions of an integrated-technology ecosystem. In addition, a rating and ranking study of the AAL products and technology combinations supports a careful consideration for implementation. Finally, the study sets the direction of the design of the future AI-driven dashboard.Keywords: Active and Assisted Living, dementia care, cross-cultural, eHealth, data-driven care
