Abstract

The E-care@home project aims to develop a smart sensor and communication infrastructure with semantic interoperability capable of monitoring patients in their home. The system will use a wide array of sensors, both medical and environmental, and an advanced computer reasoning layer capable of interpreting sensor data and deliver natural language summaries of the patient health status. One critical issue is that of the usability of such a system to the users, i.e. patients and care providers.
