Ambient intelligence based multi-agent system for attend elderly people

The physical and physiological changes in elderly people make difficult to perform and control basic house works; people lose progressively autonomy and independence. Moreover, the probability of total or partial abandonment is increasingly high, limiting an adequate monitoring of the person´s health, which could prevent many of the problems typical of aging by generating alerts and/r appropriate actions. In order to mitigate these problems, in this work a solution based on ambience intelligence is proposed; the idea is to provide assistance to elderly people in everyday actions. The system includes the automation of home processes, and the use of the information gathered during the daily activities of the person in order to operate a multi agent system. The central intelligent component, utilizes the registered information, to make decisions oriented to the wellbeing of the person based on the analysis of behavior patterns.
