Assistive Home Platforms - From Guidelines to Technology Selection and Reasoning Applications

Laura Montanini

2015

Abstract

In this paper an integrated platform for telecare and Ambient Assisted Living aimed at prolonging independent living of elderly people at home has been presented. Such a platform covers several aspects of the home living, such as independent living, home security, health monitoring and environmental control. Above this substrate, reasoning algorithms for behaviour recognition and human-system interface have been implemented. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solutions.
