Bridge: Mutual Reassurance for Autonomous and Independent Living The increase in the average age of the world’s population over the coming decades will impact several aspects of our lives. In particular, it will increase the demand and challenges of delivering care and assistance to elderly or fragile people. This article describes an ambient assisted living system, called Bridge (behavior drift compensation for autonomous and independent living), that’s based on a set of home services that include a wireless sensor-actuator network for detection of inhabitants’ behaviors and a rich, flexible communication system between the inhabitants and a social environment aimed at reassuring both inhabitants and their families. All Bridge solutions have been derived from real needs with the help of a social mediator and tested by users in their living environments.
