This proposal consists of adding a new language module named Users to provide multi-user support in NCL, proposing three new NCL elements: userBase, userAgent and userProfile. user-Base is used for declaring user and their profiles. userAgent identifies a user and userProfile represents a description of the user’s profile. Each userAgent is associated with only one userProfile, and together, they allow representing a unique user. The user description with its specific characteristics can be loaded from a profile specified with the Resource Description Framework (RDF) standard, for example.
This work proposes a way to detect the wandering movement of Alzheimer’s patients from path data collected from non-intrusive indoor sensors around the house. Due to the lack of adequate data, we have manually generated a dataset of 220 paths using our developed application. Wandering patterns in the literature are normally identified by visual features (such as loops or random movement), thus our dataset was transformed into images and augmented. Convolutional layers were used on the neural network model since they tend to have good results in finding patterns mainly on images. The Convolutional Neural Network model was trained with the generated data representing the hourly analysis and achieved an F1 score (relation between precision and recall) of 75%, recall of 60%, and precision of 100% on the validation slice. For comparative purposes, we have also trained the model with a 30-min interval of analysis and achieved an F1 score of 57.14%, a recall of 80% and a precision of 44.44%.
This proposal consists of adding one more type of variable storage setting node, called “x-ncl-ambient-settings,” which stores environment information. This information may come from sensors in the physical ambient that must update this data periodically or as defined by the author of the NCL document. These variables can be used by NCL links or procedural code to drive application behavior based on the perceived environment information.
Incorporating sensory effects to traditional multimedia applications makes it possible to stimulate other human senses in addition to sight and hearing. Furthermore, this new type of application allows the construction of multisensory environments that can be used for healthcare applications, for example, stimulating multiple senses of patients through new types of therapy or cognitive training. In this context, this chapter presents and discusses the characteristics of applications with multiple sensory effects, highlighting possibilities of their use for healthcare. This chapter also describes some use cases of applications and multisensory ambients for helping the treatment of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's, autism spectrum disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, among others. Resumo A incorporação de efeitos sensoriais às aplicações multimídia tradicionais possibilita estimular outros sentidos humanos, além da visão e audição. Ainda, este novo tipo de aplicação permite a construção de ambientes multissensoriais que podem ser utilizados para aplicações em saúde, por exemplo, estimulando múltiplos sentidos de pacientes por meio de novos tipos de terapia ou treinamento cognitivo. Neste contexto, este capítulo apresenta e discute características de aplicações com múltiplos efeitos sensoriais, destacando possibilidades de sua utilização na área da saúde. Este capítulo também descreve alguns casos de uso de aplicações e ambientes multissensoriais, que podem servir como ferramenta auxiliar no tratamento de pacientes diagnosticados com Alzheimer, transtornos do espectro autista, estresse pós-traumático, dentre outros.
