Purpose

The authors analyse the impact of European funding research programmes on the topic of Ambient Assisted Living by considering its status, future context, and the implications for prospective knowledge management.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors apply our variation of classical Systematic Literature Review – Systematic Literature Network Analysis, which also includes bibliographic networks – to identify the readership cliques of the associated technological publication outputs.

Findings

The authors’ main conclusion suggests that there was an increase in scientific production on AAL fields just after the start of the two EU funding programmes (2008 and 2014). Three main research directions were identified: activity and vital sign recognition, human-computer interaction and technology acceptance.

Originality/value

To date, previous reviews on Ambient Assisted Livig focus on specific aspects, such as the study of technology. The present review provides a complete overview of Ambient Assisted living technology and it grasps how the European funds have impacted on the development of this technology.

环境辅助生活和欧洲基金：文献计量方法

目的

作者通过考虑环境辅助生活的现状、未来背景以及对前瞻性知识管理的影响，分析了欧洲资助研究计划对环境辅助生活主题的影响。

设计/方法论/方法

作者应用我们的经典系统文献评论变体——系统文献网络分析，其中还包括书目网络——来识别相关技术出版物输出的读者群。

发现

作者的主要结论表明，在两个欧盟资助计划（2008 年和 2014 年）启动后，AAL 领域的科学成果有所增加。确定了三个主要研究方向：活动和生命体征识别、人机交互和技术接受。

创意/价值

迄今为止，之前关于环境辅助生活的评论侧重于特定方面，例如技术研究。本综述提供了环境辅助生活技术的完整概述，并掌握了欧洲基金如何影响该技术的发展。
