Abstract

Detecting a decline in the health condition of a patient may still be considered a challenge in Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) since the concept of ‘decline’ is vague and imprecise. In this context, Fuzzy Logic comes as an excellent alternative for AAL systems. This paper presents a model based on Fuzzy logic reasoning in order to identify a possible decline in the patient health condition. In order to achieve this goal, the model considers relevant situations that may somehow impact the patient. To evaluate the model, a case study was developed, showing that the developed model can simulate the human reasoning and be used in an AAL system.
