| Abstract | Assistive technology is a new paradigm in information technology in which people are empowered by a digital environment that is not only aware of their presence, but also sensitive, adaptive, and responsive to their needs, habits, gestures, and passions. Most assistive technology research focuses only on the indoor environment, making use of gadgets that must be installed in the environment or worn especially for the elderly who are more exposed to risks and dangers that prevent them from being active and having a routine of activities outdoors. If the solutions that seek to generate safe environments could be implemented in outdoor scale, the elderly would have greater security to perform outdoor activities, increasing their quality of life and autonomy. The main objective of this paper is to understand the needs of the elderly population in urban areas by the help of experts in architecture. Expert interviews were conducted to understand specifically the problems of the elderly in large cities. The results showed that only experts in architecture are not enough to understand the problems and foreseen possible solutions. However, it is foreseen to include experts from other areas as well as elderly to give insights into what they think about possible solutions to elderly’s problems in the Smart City context. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. |
