This booklet on Active Assisted Living (AAL) technologies has been created as part of the GoodBrother COST Action, which has run from 2020 to 2024. COST Actions are European research programs that promote collaboration across borders, uniting researchers, professionals, and institutions to address key societal challenges. GoodBrother focused on ethical and privacy concerns surrounding video and audio monitoring in care settings. The aim was to ensure that while AAL technologies support older adults and vulnerable individuals, their privacy and data protection rights remain a top priority. This resource is intended for a wide audience, including end users, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers. It provides practical guidance on integrating AAL technologies into care settings while safeguarding privacy and ensuring ethical use. The insights offered here aim to empower users and caregivers to make informed choices that enhance both the quality of care and respect for personal autonomy.
