ABSTRACT
Reflective assistance is concerned with the construction of flexible 'smart' systems that control the eldercare environment, adapting the functioning to the needs of the individual in real-time. In order to achieve this goal, systems must be capable of monitoring the behaviour of the elderly people and responding to dynamic changes in their performance, physical and psychological situation. This paper describes how reflective approach can be used to design and develop a home environment that offers medicare, rehabilitation exercises and improved comfort of elderly inhabitants.

Semantic data management for situation-aware assistance in ambient assisted living
iiWAS '09: Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & ServicesSmart Homes (SH) have emerged as a realistically viable solution capable of providing technology-driven assistive living for the elderly and disabled. Nevertheless, it still remains a challenge to provide situation-aware assistance for those in need in ...
An intervention mechanism for assistive living in smart homes
In order to support ageing in place for elderly people, technologies and services for home environments need to be developed. An intervention mechanism is proposed in this paper in a smart home environment to provide reminders to assist elderly ...
Grassmann manifold based framework for automated fall detection from a camera
AbstractIn this paper, we propose a Grassmann manifold based novel, real-time framework for automated fall detection in an indoor environment using a single camera. Fall is an activity that is uncontrolled, unintentional, involuntary and can ...
