Uncertainty Modelling in Technologies for the Elderly
Lead Research Organisation:
De Montfort University
Department Name: School of Computing
Abstract
This multi-disciplinary proposal creates a new collaboration between two very strong research groups in computational intelligence and the application of technology in nursing and social care.This project will lead to a feasibility study, prototype analysis software and a series of interactive web resources that explores the role of uncertainty modelling in data analysis that will enhance the care of the elderly.Professors John and Keller are well known for their experience in research in uncertainty modelling using fuzzy logic.The two other investigators named on this project are early career researchers who are both already showing strong evidence of internationally recognised research.The topic of care of the elderly is of growing societal importance, this project will enhance the research portfolio of both research groups and will lay the groundwork for future long term collaboration.

A Fuzzy Logic System for Acoustic Fall Detection
| Description | The project was successful in using fuzzy logic to monitor and asses falling. |
| Exploitation Route | The work would feed into the assisted living agenda |
| Sectors | Healthcare |
| Description | This project was to work with the University of Missouri in aiding the elderly to live on their own. This research was looking at monitoring the beaviours of residents with a view to see if they are falling over. This fed into a wider project based in Missouri |
