Under the pressure of the growing millennial population and senior citizens are aging, which is one of the top societal priorities in many countries, the provision of healthcare needs to evolve and improve. A roadmap paved by World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2019 called Global Strategy on Digital Health 2020-2024, specified a grand vision of promoting healthy lives and well-beings for everyone, everywhere, at all ages [1] . WHO urges all nations to work hand in hand in developing and delivering Digital Health initiatives supported by robust government strategies that amalgamate financial, organizational, human and technological resources [2] . In particular, there are some niches areas in the strategies such as the adoption of distributed sensors and assisted living emerging in recent years. To this end, a lot of efforts both from the research community and industrial providers are anticipated to put forth in the coming decade, in implementing the concept of assisted living using hardware devices into meaningful solutions for fulfilling the growing needs of assisted living.
