(father of ubiquitous computing)

4. 1.1 What’s Ambient Intelligence?

5. 1.1 What’s Ambient Intelligence?
Distributed electronic intelligence
Characterized by an environment:
1) where technology is embedded, hidden in the background
2) that is sensitive, adaptive, and responsive to the presence of people and objects
3) that augments activities through smart non-explicit assistance
4) that preserves security, privacy and trustworthiness while utilizing information when needed and appropriate.

6. 1.2 Why Ambient Intelligence?
Motivation:
Economic Consideration:
User-centered design: user is placed in the center of the design activity.
Technical Description
To provide a context aware system, using unobtrusive computing devices that will improve the quality of people’s lives by acknowledging their needs, requirements and preferences and thus acting in some way on their behalf.

7. 1.3 What Techniques Needed?
Ubiquitous Computing
Ubiquitous Communications
Ambient Intelligence
Transparent Interface

8. 1.3 What Techniques Needed?
Ubiquitous Computing (Ambient Agents):
Refer to an environment where electronic devices and processors are scattered all around us
Ubiquitous Communications:
Manners in which ambient agents can talk to each other
Transient Interface:
Allows the connections of systems and equipments with others without modification of system characters or operational procedures on either side of the interface

20. Tele-care Definition :
Tele-care is the continuous, automatic and remote monitoring of real time emergencies and lifestyle changes over time in order to manage the risks associated with independent living.

21. Impact on patients
Improve capabilities to record, measure, and analysis data
Better diagnoses
Avoid collapse
Promote healthy life
Save life

22. Cardiology
Heart disease still remains one of the major causes of premature deaths.
Every 7 minutes in Canada, someone dies from heart disease or stroke.

Cardiovascular disease accounts for the death of more Canadians than any other disease.

23. some of the causes of heart disease can be foreseen and prevented.
ex. cholesterol levels, blood pressure levels, family history etc.

24. Body Area Network Wearable computing devices and sensors
monitoring and logging vital parameters of patients (heart disease, diabetes,..)

25. Challenges : Safety Privacy Integration of data into medical databases
Compatibility
