Abstract

Elderly people are subjected to several safety issues while performing Activities of Daily Living. On the other hand, Assistive technology is a promising solution to enhance safety of elderly people, and consequently improve their quality of life and independent living. We present in this paper a review of the major risks affecting elderly people in outdoor environment and the related assistive technology.
