Title:
FureAI: An Implementation of An Elders’ Living Support System based on Social Conversational Agents and Smart Activity Monitoring
Agreement Number:
1015010
Agreement Value:
$300,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 28, 2024 - Nov 1, 2026
Description:
Canadian fast aging population increases the demand for health care and places challenges on the caregivers' sustainability and government agedcare costs. It is critical to transform aged-care ecosystem into seniorcentric community-based care. However, solutions that monitor activities of daily living (ADLs), to facilitate community-based aging in place, are limited. This Project aims to prototype an integrated activity monitoring and management platform for the elderly to improve their living independence and comfortability. The proposed monitoring system can simultaneously monitor the social and daily living activities of the aging people in a costeffective and non-intrusive way, by using electric appliance recognition and conversational AI agent for monitoring social connections. The solution provides a consolidated view of a senior individual's daily living, and longitudinal health and safety considerations. This system enables Canadians to age in place with dignity and safety.
