Abstract

Ubiquitous home care is considered as a promising innovation for addressing the increase of aged population. Equipped with wearable sensors and ambient intelligence, a ubiquitous home care model called Reflective Sensing and Conditioning System Used for Elderly (ReSCUE) is proposed in this paper. A new technique as a contribution of this paper is automatic reflection of sensing gathered from wearable body sensor and ambient intelligence to home appliances, based on the needs and preferences of elderly, in oder to enhance the wellbeing of elderly people. Three essential features in ReSCUE model that are presented in this paper are learning elderly characteristics based on medical references as previous data set and preferences of elderly as experiences acquired over time, alerting to stakeholders if elderly in critical condition, and reporting to stakeholders and wellbeing experts. The combination of reinforced and adaptive learning is used in developing ReSCUE smart system.
