Abstract

Developing intelligent systems towards automated clinical monitoring and assistance for the elderly is attracting growing attention. USEFIL is an FP7 project aiming to provide health-care assistance in a smart-home setting. We present the data fusion component of USEFIL which is based on a complex event recognition methodology. In particular, we present our knowledge-driven approach to the detection of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and functional ability, based on a probabilistic version of the Event Calculus. To investigate the feasibility of our approach, we present an empirical evaluation on synthetic data.
