Population over aging is at present a widely discussed and researched challenge that society will have to face in the future. Research on ambient assisted living (AAL) yields promising solutions to master those challenges and the IT industry meanwhile has identified AAL as an important future market. However, AAL solutions which are adequate for large portions of the population are still missing. When considering that population over aging will be a mass phenomenon, solutions have to be provided which are applicable for a majority of the population living in different environments and having different income levels and, most importantly, consider a broad range of usability and psychological aspects which influence the acceptance and usage of technology. In this paper we identify and discuss shortcomings of existing research activities and technological developments and present approaches overcoming these shortcomings on the basis of the concept of user experience.
