Context-Awareness in a Persistent Hospital Companion Agent
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The agent system uses sensors to enable it to be aware of events in the hospital room and the status of the patient, in order to provide context-sensitive health counseling. ...
We describe the design and preliminary evaluation of a virtual agent that provides continual bedside companionship and a range of health, information, and entertainment functions to hospital patients during ...
In this paper, we report on a greatly enhanced version of the system that integrates a suite of sensors to make the agent aware of events in the hospital environment and more aware of the status of the ...

Context-aware multimedia computing in the intelligent hospital
2000
Proceedings of the 9th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop beyond the PC: new challenges for the operating system - EW 9
This paper describes how we are using QoS DREAM to design what we term our concept of the "Intelligent Hospital". We also introduce a usability study that we are currently engaged in. ...
By integrating a multimedia framework with an event-based notification system, we are developing QoS DREAM, a platform that can provide seamless, context-sensitive communications, which can adapt to users ...
The existing technology lacks context awareness: it is pointless and inappropriate to page a doctor for a minor consultation when they are engaged in a critical procedure. ...
