Abstract
Motivated by the aging trend, much effort is being invested into implementing ICT (Information 19 and Communications Technology)-enabled systems to provide a better quality of life and support 20 the independent living of older people. As a result, many systems, often labeled as eHealth or AAL 21 (Ambient/Active Assisted Living), were developed over the years. In creating such systems, that 22 very often serve various needs, different architectures have emerged. This work focuses on analyz-23 ing and comparing the work and architectures from seven (six of which are in progress) EU-funded 24 healthcare projects, with a total budget of 126MEUR in which we participate. After establishing the 25 theoretical foundation by defining core concepts, we give a brief background on architectures in 26 eHealth and AAL. We elaborate on the chosen analysis method based on three established 27 healthcare and AAL taxonomies we identified by performing a literature survey and the selected 28 Reference Architecture Model (RAM). Since there is no standard way of describing architectures in 29 the eHealth and AAL domain, we conducted the online survey during August and September 2020 30 and identified CREATE-IoT 3D RAM as the most appropriate option. We present a classification of 31 selected projects based on established taxonomies and map projects' architectures to CREATE-IoT 32 3D RAM, which we also propose as standard RAM for future digital healthcare and AAL projects. 33 During our analysis, we identify the most common types of assistance: communication support, 34 reminders, monitoring, and guidance to address health and communication issues. We conclude 35 that proper ecosystems are critical for lowering entry barriers and facilitating sustainable solutions 36 for smart and healthy living.
