Situational-Context for Virtually Modeling the Elderly
Garcia-Alonso, J.; Berrocal, J.; Murillo, J.; Mendes, D.; Fonseca, C.; Lopes, M.The generalized aging of the population is incrementing the pressure over, frequently overextended, healthcare systems. This situations is even worse in underdeveloped, sparsely populated regions like Extremadura in Spain or Alentejo in Portugal. In this paper we propose an initial approach to use the Situational-Context, a technique to seamlessly adapt Internet of Things systems to the needs and preferences of...

Monitoring Food Intake in an Aging Population: A Survey on Technological Solutions
Mendes, D.; Fonseca, C.; Moguel, E.; Berrocal, J.; Lopes, M. J.; Garcia-Alonso, J. M.; Murillo, J.The aging of the population has increased the research efforts focused on eldercare. In this area, nutrition is a topic of particular interest. A significant number of problems related with aging have their origin in a deficient nutrition. Many elders suffer changes in their nutritional patterns and these changes can cause serious deterioration of their physical condition. Therefore, to be able to address nutri...
Anonymized Distributed PHR Using Blockchain for Openness and Non-repudiation Gu...
Mendes, D.; Rodrigues, I.; Fonseca, C.; Lopes, M. J.; García-Alonso, J. M.; Berrocal, J.We introduce our solution developed for data privacy, and specifically for cognitive security that can be enforced and guaranteed using blockchain technology in SAAL (Smart Ambient Assisted Living) environments. Using our proposal the access to a patient’s clinical process resists tampering and ransomware attacks that have recently plagued the HIS (Hospital Information Systems) in various countries. One importa...
Context-aware mobile app for the multidimensional assessment of the elderly,
Berrocal, J.; Garcia-Alonso, J. M.; Murillo, J. M.; Mendes, D.; Fonseca, C.; Lopes, M. J.Rural areas in Europe are presenting a decreasing population density and an increasing age index. These elders usually present multiple diseases that require complex tools to identify the exact cares that they need. Currently, different frameworks can evaluate their functional status and identify the required cares to maintain their Quality of Life, together with the associated cost to the health system. Nevert...

Mendes, D.; Rodrigues, I.; Fonseca, C.; Lopes, M. J.; Garcia-Alonso, J. M.; Berrocal, J.We introduce our solution developed for data privacy, and specifically for cognitive security that can be enforced and guaranteed using blockchain technology in SAAL (Smart Ambient Assisted Living) environments. Personal clinical and demographic information segments to various levels that assures that it can only be rebuilt at the interested and authorized parties and no profiling can be extracted from the bloc...

Moguel, E.; Berrocal, J.; Murillo, J. M.; Garcia-Alonso, J. M.; Mendes, D.; Fonseca, C.; Lopes, M. J.The pressure over Healthcare systems is increasing in most developed countries. The generalized aging of the population is one of the main causes. This situation is even worse in underdeveloped, sparsely populated regions like Extremadura in Spain or Alentejo in Portugal. The authors propose to use the Situational-Context, a technique to seamlessly adapt Internet of Things systems to the needs and preferences o...
