SmartEdge: smarter elderly care
One Person — One Virtual Assistant: Smarter Care Through Swarm Intelligence:
In this project, our team implements a Healthcare Use Case by developing a swarm of Personal Virtual Assistants (PVAs) for aging people. Each PVA acts as an intelligent digital health twin, representing an individual within the swarm and continuously monitoring health and living conditions through multiple IoT sensors. Key roles of the PVA swarm include:
Data Collection & Discovery
Collecting measurements from both indoor IoT sensor swarms and personal IoT devices, including automatic discovery of available data sources.
Real-Time Semantic Integration
Performing real-time semantic integration of heterogeneous data streams to ensure consistency, interoperability, and meaningful interpretation of sensor data.
Biomarker & Health Indicator Calculation
Calculating biomarkers, wellbeing indicators, and compliance metrics to continuously assess individual health status.
Health Evaluation & Compliance Assessment
Evaluating homeostasis and rule compliance using a knowledge database, both at the individual level and across the group.
