1. Fundamentals for AmI
“The most profound technologies are those that disappear"
------by Mark Weiser
(father of ubiquitous computing)
1.1 What’s Ambient Intelligence?
Distributed electronic intelligence Characterized by an environment:
1) where technology is embedded, hidden in the background
2) that is sensitive, adaptive, and responsive to the presence of people and objects
3) that augments activities through smart non-explicit assistance
4) that preserves security, privacy and trustworthiness while utilizing information when needed and appropriate.
1.2 Why Ambient Intelligence?
Motivation: Economic Consideration: User-centered design: user is placed in the
center of the design activity. Technical Description To provide a context aware system, using
unobtrusive computing devices that will improve the quality of people’s lives by acknowledging their needs, requirements and preferences and thus acting in some way on their behalf.
1.3 What Techniques Needed?
Ubiquitous Computing Ubiquitous Communications
Transparent Interface
Ambient Intelligence
1.3 What Techniques Needed?
Ubiquitous Computing (Ambient Agents):
Refer to an environment where electronic devices and processors are scattered all around us
Ubiquitous Communications:
Manners in which ambient agents can talk to each other
Transient Interface:
Allows the connections of systems and equipments with others without modification of system characters or operational procedures on either side of the interface
1.4 Short History of AmI
1991: Mark Weiser defined the next generation of computing: ubiquitous computing
1998-1999: Philips Research: Ambient Intelligence,
MIT Oxygen project 2002: Philips Research: HomeLab Established 2004 : 1st European symposium on Ambients
Intelligence (EUSAI) was held

Preliminary Introduction to AmI Review Relevant Works on Living Aid
Systems Propose a Framework for Everyday Living
Aid System for Elders Trends of AmI
Tele-care
Definition :
Tele-care is the continuous, automatic and remote monitoring of real time emergencies and lifestyle changes over time in order to manage the risks associated with independent living.
Impact on patients
Improve capabilities to record, measure, and analysis data
Better diagnoses Avoid collapse Promote healthy life Save life
Cardiology
Heart disease still remains one of the major causes of premature deaths.
Every 7 minutes in Canada, someone dies from heart disease or stroke.
Cardiovascular disease accounts for the death of more Canadians than any other disease.
some of the causes of heart disease can be foreseen and prevented.
ex. cholesterol levels, blood pressure levels, family history etc.
Body Area Network
Wearable computing devices and sensors monitoring and logging vital parameters of
patients (heart disease, diabetes,..)
TeCaRob :
allows caregivers to provide assistance and services remotely
enables various telecare practices including tele-rehabilitation, tele-nursing,tele-medicine, tele-psychotherapy
