Graph-based association rule learning for context-based health monitoring to enable user-centered assistance.

In response to the demographic change and the accompanying challenges for effective healthcare, approaches to enable using advancements of digitalization and IoT infrastructures as well as AI methods to deliver results in the field of personalized health assistance are necessary. In our research, we aim at enabling user-centered assistance with the help of networked sensors and Health Assistance Systems as well as learning methods based on connected graph data that model the shared system, user, and environmental context. In particular, this paper demonstrates a graph-based dynamic context model for a medication assistance system and presents an association rule learning method using Apriori algorithm to learn correlations between user vitals, activities as well as medication intake behavior.

AI-Based Elderly Assistance Systems.

The demographic change is no longer a prognosis, but a reality seen in everyday life situations and requires mechanisms to make the public and private space elderly-adequate. These required mechanisms need to consider the varying aging process for each individual as well as adapt to the dynamic daily life of individuals characterized by spatial, temporal and activity variance. Developing assistance systems that are user-adaptive within dynamic environments is a challenging task.
