Artificial Intelligence For Developing Technology For Older Adults
Credit: CCC
The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the development of technologies that promote safe independent living for older adults will be the focus of an upcoming symposium titled AI for Gerontechnology.
The symposium will bring together experts to present case studies and research and to brainstorm novel technologies that can be enhanced with AI. Researchers will address the current and future challenges of applying AI to gerontechnology. AI will be important for transforming raw sensor data into human interpretable abstractions, innovating new human computer interfaces, and for planning and reasoning. A variety of sensing technologies will capture data on physical activities, nighttime behaviors, medication taking, socialization, and ongoing physiological changes in older adults. AI can help with analyzing the volume of data and with decision making.
Northwestern University's Parisa Rashidi, Washington State University's Narayanan Krishnan and Diane Cook, the University of Missouri Columbia's Marjorie Skubic, and the University of Toronto's Alex Mihailidis are organizing the workshop as part of the AAAI fall symposium series.
