Abstrakt: From the past few decades entire world is witnessing the phenomenon of population ageing as a result of life longevity and declining birth rate of modern society. India is also not immune to this demographic change and will have major socio-economic consequences over the period of time. To extend the necessary assistance for the older adults to live independently and lead a healthy lifestyle the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is of paramount in nature. One such ICT-based innovative technology is Active and Assisted Living (AAL). In this paper we present comprehensive survey to monitor the recent trends in the realm of AAL. First we discuss about the generic overview of AAL and Ambient Intelligence (AmI). Next, we highlight the relevance of enabling technologies for AAL. Then we review the various trending scenarios of AAL and major research projects being carried out across the world. Finally, we conclude by proposing some possible directions for the future work in the area of AAL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
