MARIKA: A Mobile Assistance System for Supporting Home Care

Documentation of care activities is a very time-consuming task of home healthcare, but necessary due to legal requirements. Automating the care documentation would relieve the nurses from writing it down by hand, resulting in more time for the patients. The MARIKA project presented in this paper is addressing this problem through the development of a system which assists the home care personnel by automatically recording care activities, and integrates with other systems involved in the care process. Technical approaches for two major building blocks of such a system are described: A hybrid, sensor-based activity recognition approach, and a mediator-based data and function integration
