AbstractDespite advances in modern medicine allowing older adults to live longer with increasingly complex needs, care provision has not kept up with the growing needs of this group (Hoffman et al., 2021). Active Assisted Living (AAL) systems—comprised of IoT devices designed to improve quality of life, aid in independence, and promote healthier lifestyles—have great potential to facilitate personalized, efficient care (Kushniruk et al., 2021). Still, little guidance exists for their practically ethical implementation (Fadrique et al., 2020). This project aims to explore how AAL may be feasibly integrated into the continuum of care and provide actionable steps for deployment while considering users' perspectives.Keywords: active assisted living, ethics, equitability, standards, older adults, health and care provision
