The Independent LifeStyle Assistant

The Independent LifeStyle Assistant TM (I.L.S.A.) is an agent- based monitoring and support system to help elderly peo- ple to live longer in their homes by reducing caregiver bur- den. I.L.S.A. is a multiagent system that incorporates a uni- fied sensing model, situation assessments, response planning, real-time responses and machine learning. This paper de- scribes the some of the lessons we learned during the devel- opment and six-month field study.
