Abstract :
This paper presents the fusion considerations for a smart hospital application. In particular, we present the subtle design and implementation of fusion architecture for monitoring and handling agitation behaviour for persons with dementia. In addition, we exploit semantic Web standards to provide a reusable fusion middleware support for providing services that facilitate care-giving and clinical assessment of dementia patients in a context enlightened fashion
