Abstract

Analytics and visualisation of Big Data appearance is still a challenging task. In this paper, the management and visualisation of big data streams will be discussed at hand of data that comes into existence during the care of people with dementia in their own homes. Therein, basic requirements are explored towards the development of a data management, analytics and visualisation platform stemming from application scenarios in which various data streams are created, processed, analysed, visualised and stored for ad hoc or later reuse. The platform will be realised on open ICT standards, implemented within the EC co funded SenseCare project.
