Abstract

This article presents a novel human autonomy assessment system for generating context and discovering the behaviors of older people who use ambulant services. Our goal is to assist caregivers in assessing possibly abnormal health conditions in their clients concerning their level of autonomy, thus enabling caregivers to take countermeasures as soon as possible.

Keywords: Petri nets; activities of daily living; activity recognition; concur task trees; context awareness; data mining; probabilistic models; task models; transition system miner.
