Abstract

Good sleep quality in old age promotes better health and protects against age-related decline processes. Yet, up to 70 percent of older adults experience chronic sleep problems. SAAM is an Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) system, developed in the Horizon 2020 project SAAM (Supporting Active Aging Through Multimodal Coaching), to support older adults in maintaining and enhancing their health and wellbeing, including sleep quality. Within a 3-months field study, 8 Austrian older adults (4f, 4m, mean age=75 years) tested SAAM to improve their overall sleep quality. First insights into the effectiveness of SAAM as a sleep coach are promising. Taking into account
individual data to send personalized coaching messages, can successfully support older adults in improving their subjective sleep quality over time.
