Talk Title:

Exploring the potential of Big Data for Ambient Assisted Living in Smart Homes

Talk Abstract:

The rapidly increasing population of elderly people has been one of the characteristic features of this modern century. At present there are around 962 million elderly people across the world. Recent studies have predicted that by the year 2050 the population of elderly people will become around 1.6 billion and will end up outnumbering the population of younger people worldwide. The shortage of caregivers is a major concern across the globe. Aging is associated with several healthcare needs which are posing huge burdens to the world economy in the absence of caregivers. In this era of Industry 4.0 where modernization and advancement of technologies are taking place at a very fast pace, people are surrounded by technology all the time. The future of Internet of Things (IoT)-based living spaces for instance Smart Homes and Smart Cities would involve interaction, coordination and communication between humans, machines, robots and other technology-laden devices in multiple ways which will lead to generation of Big Data. The primary challenges in this field are addressing (1) the shortage of caregivers, (2) the healthcare related needs of elderly and (3) assisting older adults to perform Activities of Daily Living which are essential for their sustenance.

This talk aims to explore and present the immense potential that lies at the intersection of Big Data with multiple disciplines for instance Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science and Assistive Technology for addressing these challenges to sustain independent living and active aging of the elderly population in the context of fostering their biological, psychological, behavioral, physical, mental and emotional well-being. This talk will also briefly review the recent researches in this field conducted at the University of Cincinnati at the intersection of these disciplines for developing activity recognition, activity recommendation and behavior intervention systems to support assisted living of older adults in Smart Homes.
