Sensor-driven agenda for intelligent home care of the elderly

Sensing Technologies for Intelligent Environments: A Review

“…Using data analysis algorithm and mathematical formulation, it is possible to generate the pattern of wellness of the person [36]. Using the wellness model and studying the activities of the person it is possible t forecast the future behaviour of the person [36,37,46,50,56]. The block diagram representation of wireless sensing units developed to monitor household appliances is shown in figure 24.…”

Persuasion and Recommendation System Applied to a Cognitive Assistant

“…It's purpose is to help care-receivers and caregivers by managing their agendas (create and reallocate events) and by presenting an easy-to-use visual interface for web and mobile usage (Costa et al, 2011;Costa et al, 2012).…”

“…Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) applications posses the capability to promote security and comfort for the users, trying to provide an integrated solution that connects several distinct devices to services to form a unique solution (Costa et al, 2012). Current AAL applications can perceive the environment, monitoring events, and provide an adjusted and timely response that enables it to interact with the users.…”

An AAL Collaborative System: The AAL4ALL and a Mobile Assistant Case Study

“…Therefore, several scopes were projected responding to the various user spheres, ones regarding the user and its direct monitoring, others monitoring the home, and others providing information. As presented before, the UserAccess [19,20] platform was developed within the scope of the AAL4ALL project and, in simplified terms, consists in a platform that provides information about the actor being monitored. Corresponding to the information sphere, the UserAccess focuses the user monitored but it is not designed to be used by him/her, but by others that directly interact with them.…”
