A hybrid approach to intelligent living assistance

IT-based living assistance systems focusing on the support of people with special needs in their daily routine have to continuously monitor and assist them in an appropriate way. To this end, we have developed a Monitoring and Assistance component including a hybrid reasoner that is able to adapt planned and running treatments according to the current situation and context. In this paper, we explain the underlying approaches followed in the reasoner, describe the reasoning technologies used for this task and its subtasks, and present some first evaluation results.
