Requirements for a behaviour pattern based assistant for early detection and management of neurodegenerative diseases

Abstract

This paper describes the various aspects of the BEDMOND AAL Joint Programme project, which aims at the development of an ICT-based system for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, with focus on the identified applied reasoning layers. First the requirements of such a behaviour pattern based assistant are discussed, then the used system architecture is introduced and finally the applied reasoning layers for the situation recognition, interpretation and data representation layers are also detailed.
