Artificial Intelligence Based Architecture to Support Dementia Patients

Abstract Artificial Intelligence is driving a revolution in the most diverse domains of computational services and user interaction. Data collected in large quantities is becoming useful for feeding intelligent systems that analyse, learn and provide insights and help decision support systems. Machine learning and the usage of algorithms are of most importance to extract features, reason over collected data so it becomes useful and preventive, exposing discoveries augmenting knowledge about systems and processes. Human driven applications, as those related with physiological assessment and user experience, are possible especially in the health domain and especially in supporting patients and the community. The work hereby described refers to different aspects where the Artificial Intelligence can help citizens and wraps a series devices and services that where developed and tested for the benefit of a special kind of citizens. The target population are those under some kind of Dementia, but the proposed solutions are also applicable to other elder citizens or even children that need to be assisted and prevented from risks.
