Theterms“activityrecognition”and“behaviourmodelling”arenot foundinMeSH, as expected. Probably because both terms are not of relevant use in healthcare science. Table1shows termsdefined in this sectionandcompared to theMeSHterms. Table1.

Analysis Studies show that older peoplewould benefit from smart housewelfare technology in the areas of health, safety and security, peace ofmind (for the family), independence, mobility, and social contact [37]. Therefore, developing smart houses is important for olderpeople. Theworks related towelfare technology for the ageing usually refer to either the technicalpartor thehealthcarepartof it. It isnoteasy tofindstudieswerebothareasare deeply integrated. 5.1. On theTerminologyUsed Section 4 defines the terms used in the technical field and compares them to the terms used inhealthcare.The terms thatwere found inbothareasfitmostly the samemeaning and are used similarly.However, it is possible to notice that healthcare science empha- sizesaproperdefinition,unlike the technologyfield. Typically,most technology researchers donot accentuate the need for a single def- inition for the terms they use. Thus, when doing a state-of-the-art search, a significant number of keywordswith synonyms need tobeused.As a result, important research in thefieldcanbe leftout if thecorrectkeywordisnotused.Healthcaresciencereduces the stressoffindingkeywordsandsynonymsbyusingMeSHterms. It is worth noting that the technology field needs to find new terms if there is not any term currently available.However,welfare technologyhasbeenaround for thepast decades, and thusmoving towardsadefinitionof the terminologyshouldbeon themind of the technology researchers. 5.2.
