Health and Environment Monitoring Service for Solitary Seniors
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a health and environment monitoring service for solitary seniors using semantic web technologies (ontology modeling, semantic annotation, and ontology-based context awareness). This service defines and logically deducts the environmental conditions which threaten the health of the solitary seniors. This service includes solitary senior, guardian, social workers, health sensors, environment sensors, and energy sensors. By sensing the health status and the indoor environment and extracting events from them, this system provides more efficient welfare services for the solitary seniors.
