“…Current medication management systems are not yet fully context aware, though there has been some great progress. For example, iMat is a user friendly medication management system [160]. An iMat user has no need to understand the directions of her/his medications, rather iMAT enables the pharmacist of each user to extract a machine readable medication schedule specification from the users prescriptions or over the counter descriptions.…”

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a new paradigm in information technology aimed at empowering people’s capabilities by the means of digital environments that are sensitive, adaptive, and responsive to human needs, habits, gestures, and emotions. This futuristic vision of daily environment will enable innovative human-machine interactions characterized by pervasive, unobtrusive and anticipatory communications. Such innovative interaction paradigms make ambient intelligence technology a suitable candidate for developing various real life solutions, including in the health care domain. This survey will discuss the emergence of ambient intelligence (AmI) techniques in the health care domain, in order to provide the research community with the necessary background. We will examine the infrastructure and technology required for achieving the vision of ambient intelligence, such as smart environments and wearable medical devices. We will summarize of the state of the art artificial intelligence methodologies used for developing AmI system in the health care domain, including various learning techniques (for learning from user interaction), reasoning techniques (for reasoning about users’ goals and intensions) and planning techniques (for planning activities and interactions). We will also discuss how AmI technology might support people affected by various physical or mental disabilities or chronic disease. Finally, we will point to some of the successful case studies in the area and we will look at the current and future challenges to draw upon the possible future research paths.

In this work, an Intelligent Medication Controller which analyzes the data streams from body temperature provided by a wearable device is proposed in order to dispense in a low-cost remote dispenser installed at home. The main innovation of our approach is a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis based on the successful fuzzy linguistic approach and fuzzy logic. This analysis provides accuracy and adherence to patient fever in the decision making of medication intakes, adequating the doses and waiting time based on previous intakes. In order to show its efficiency, a case study is presented, in which a complete range of fever episodes is analyzed to compare the decision making in medication intakes of antipyretics between the human expert and the proposed Intelligent Medication Controller. Our proposal has obtained an encouraging performance when recommending medication intakes in a flexible way and assuring a secure response for contraindication cases.

“…We refer to these devices (and systems) collectively as UCAADS (User-Centric Automation and Assistive Device and Systems). Smart medication dispensers, autonomous appliances, service robots and robotic helpers described in [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] are examples. These devices aim to improve the quality of life and self-reliance of their users, including elderly or functionally limited individuals.…”

Abstract. EMWF (Embedded Workflow Framework)is an open source middleware for flexible (i.e., configurable, customizable and adaptable), usercentric automation and assistive devices and systems. EMWF 1.0 provides a light-weight workflow manager and engines on Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded, and Linux. It is for small embedded automation devices. EMWF 2.0 also provides basic message passing and real-time scheduling mechanisms and workflow communication facility. This paper describes EMWF 1.0 and extensions in EMWF 2.0, as well as case studies on workflow-based design and implementation as motivations for EMWF and the extensions.
