Abstract
An aging population is increasingly prevalent in both developed and developing countries, raising a series of social challenges and economic burdens. In particular, more elderly people are staying alone at home than are living with people who can take care of them. Therefore, assisted living (AL) and health-care monitoring (HM) can be critical issues in this era of human-centered artificial intelligence (AI). In this context, we aim to provide an encompassing review summarizing the state-of-the-art works combining AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) to help the elderly live easier and better. We systematically and comprehensively compare paradigms in terms of methodologies and application scenarios. The pros and cons among these technologies are discussed in detail. Then, we summarize current achievements and indicate their limitations. Finally, perspectives on highly promising future work are presented.
