With advancement of wearables and wellness monitoring technologies, it’s feasible to continuously monitor elderly populations to effectively ensure their wellbeing without compromising privacy and maintaining the dignity while them being monitored. The vast amount of data are not only useful for abnormality detection or predicting early signs of health deterioration, they are also invaluable memories of people. Imagine someone being diagnosed with dementia, by learning the patterns of people’s daily life, their digital twin of their memory can be learnt and used to help them to respond, to react to environment, or to communicate in their usual manner to increase their life quality.
In this project, a demonstration system will be created to collect, store and recommend actions utilising a collection of wearables, smart devices, utility usages and surrounding living environment. It’s anticipated at least areas of multi-modal sensory data consensus and new progressive deep learning model are needed in this project to extract the ‘patterns of daily life’ and in return assist olderly in their daily routines. You’re also expected to work with the ethical implications related to this research.
