Abstract

As per the statistics of WHO (World Health Organization), major percentages of aged society across the globe are affected with memory related disease - dementia. The percentage of dement people would be doubled in future and hence assistive health care systems have become predominant. Smart home, an ubiquitous environment offers ambient assisted living to its occupant through activity recognition and decision making process. This research work proposes an assistive dementia care environment through smart home that aid mentally disabled people with many different types of assistance during emergency. The proposed system models “Intelligent Decision Support System” that identifies deviation of the occupant from their regular activities of daily routines and decides on appropriate alerts to handle these situations. Significant criterion to model dementia care is to handle incomplete event sequences (produced due to memory loss) and to model occupant specific knowledge (provided by the care taker / doctors). Markov Logic Network (MLN), an approach of statistical relational learning models uncertain data and domain knowledge within a single framework. Thus, the proposed approach of decision support system for dementia care effectively utilizes MLN for its modeling. The experimental study made with smart home dataset showcased the competence of MLN approach of decision making has higher F-measure than existing approaches.

  • The Markov Logic Network handles both uncertainty modeling and domain knowledge modeling within a single framework, thus modeling factors that influence patient abnormality.

    “The Markov Logic Network used handles both uncertainty modeling and domain knowledge modeling within a single framework, thus modeling the factors that influence patient abnormality [55].”
  • A Markov Logic Network was used for activity recognition design to model both simple and composite activities and decide on appropriate alerts to process patient abnormality.

    “In one example, Markov Logic Network was used for activity recognition design to model both simple and composite activities and decide on appropriate alerts to process patient abnormality.”
  • This machine learning-based activity recognition framework detected abnormality together with contextual factors such as object, space, time, and duration for decision support on suitable action to keep the patient safe.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
