Abstract

Due to the progressive ageing of the world population, new care models are required to maintain elderly's quality of life. These models should include the informal carer (IC) who usually lacks of skills and knowledge to develop assistance tasks. Therefore, support in decision making and informal carer empowerment are crucial to prevent and reduce the burden and stress suffered in the elderly care provided. This paper describes the Virtual Carer system aimed at supporting IC with a set of recommendations adapted to problems suffered in the activities of daily care developed or in daily activities of the older adult. The activities are detected by a set of sensors deployed in older adult's home or a questionnaires to be filled by the IC. The recommendation are sent to IC by means of text messages or email as well as learning videos accessible from e-learning system. As example, a particular use case of the Virtual Carer has been presented to show the information process of problems in IC's sleep patterns.

虚拟照顾者:对老年人非正式照顾者的个性化支持

由于世界人口的日益老龄化，需要新的护理模式来维持老年人的生活质量。这些模式应包括通常缺乏制定援助任务的技能和知识的非正式照顾者。因此，在决策方面的支持和非正式的照料者赋权对于预防和减轻在提供的老年人照料中所遭受的负担和压力至关重要。本文描述了虚拟照顾者系统，旨在支持IC与一套建议，以适应在日常护理开发的活动或在老年人的日常活动中所遭受的问题。这些活动是由安置在老年人家中的一套传感器或由IC填写的问卷来检测的。建议通过短信或电子邮件以及可从电子学习系统访问的学习视频发送给IC。举例来说，虚拟看护的一个特殊用例显示了IC睡眠模式问题的信息处理过程。
