Theterms“activityrecognition”and“behaviourmodelling”arenot foundinMeSH,
as expected. Probably because both terms are not of relevant use in healthcare science.

5. 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.
