A platform for health emergency warning and wandering behaviour detection supporting people with intellectual disabilityA platform for health emergency warning and wandering behaviour detection supporting people with intellectual disability Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2024-09-202022enPeople with intellectual disabilities (ID) encounter several problems in their daily life, regarding the interaction with their environment, the communication with their caregivers and their mobility. Mobile and modern smartwatch applications have great potential to provide early warning for medical emergencies, such as fever, oxygen saturation decline and, recently, Covid-19 disease. Furthermore, such apps can also track their position, if necessary, and even automatically detect wandering behaviour. In this paper, we propose a platform that will be able to a) automatically recognize health emergency situations and/or detection of wandering behaviour based on smartwatch/smartphone sensors, b) provide appropriate notifications to both user and caregiver when needed. The final system is currently developed within a Greek national research project and a pilot implementation will be evaluated by a Greek assistive center for people with ID.This research has been co-financed by the European Union and Greek national funds through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the call RESEARCH–CREATE–INNOVATE (project code: T2EDK-00306).http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/694–69915th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive EnvironmentsProceedings of the 15th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments Grammatikopoulou Athina Grammalidis Nikos Papadogiorgaki Maria Παπαδογιωργακη Μαρια Zervakis Michail Ζερβακης Μιχαηλ Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Quality of life support system Health emergency detection Wandering detection Smart mobile devices Wearable sensors Intellectual disability (ID)
