HBMS: Human Behavior Monitoring and Support

The purpose of AAL research is to enable the elderly to live as autonomously as possible in their domestic environment for as long as possible, with the aid of IT methods. We use our approaches and our skills in modeling and computational linguistics in order to derive individual cognitive behavioral models from the specific behavioral processes of a particular person. There are subsequently[...] further processed on an interdisciplinary basis, using methods from artificial intelligence and findings from the field of cognitive psychology. Knowledge "learned" in this way can be recalled at a later date, thus compensating for gaps in the episodic memory of the respective person and supporting them in their activities. As a consequence, persons that find themselves in need of assistance to an increasing degree, are supported by their own previous knowledge rather than by that of third parties.
