Context-Aware IoT Middleware for Home Care - “R2V Adaptive”

摘要

This paper presents “R2V adaptive”, a middleware that enables the use of commercial smart devices in executing care plans, enabling continuity of care in an efficient way for home care, and avoiding digital ecosystem lock-down. We propose a two-sided approach - to reuse existing smart devices and to assign dynamically tasks to them based on the care process for the patient and their capabilities. The system achieves this by executing a customized care plan with activities annotated with corresponding devices. Such a system is context-aware as it adapts to the context of the device and to the medical context of the user. The system is in the prototype phase, implementing sensing and notification tasks on two smart devices.
