Abstract
With advanced technologies in hand, there exist potential applications
and services built around monitoring activities of daily living (ADL) of
elderly people at nursing homes. Most of the elderly people in these
facilities are suffering from different chronic diseases such as dementia.
Existing technologies are mainly focusing on non-medication interventions
and monitoring of ADL for addressing loss of autonomy or
well-being. Monitoring and managing ADL related to cognitive behaviors
for non-medication intervention are very effective in improving
dementia patients’ conditions. However, cognitive functions of
patients can be improved if appropriate recommendations of medications
are delivered at a particular time. Previously we developed the
Secured Wireless Sensor Network Integrated Cloud Computing for
Ubiquitous-Life Care (SC3
). SC3 services were limited to monitoring
ADL of elderly people with Alzheimer’s disease and providing nonmedication
recommendations to the patient. In this article, we propose
a system called the Smart Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) as
an integral part of the SC3 platform. Using the Smart CDSS, patients
are provided with access to medication recommendations of expert
physicians. Physicians are provided with an interface to create clinical
knowledge for medication recommendations and to observe the patient’s
condition. The clinical knowledge created by physicians as the
knowledge base of the Smart CDSS produces recommendations to the
caregiver for medications based on each patient’s symptoms.
