Paper: CareMedia: Automated Video and Sensor Analysis for Geriatric Care Bharucha, A.J., Wactlar, H., Stevens, S., Pollock, B.G., Dew, M.A., Chen, D., Atkeson, C., Proceedings of the Fifth Annual WPIC Research Day, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, June 13, 2005 Abstract: CareMedia is developing a suite of techniques and methodologies that capture in real-time a continuous audiovisual and sensor record of the pattern of activities, behaviors and social interactions of nursing home residents while simultaneously developing tools for automated data reduction, and safeguarding privacy. Application of computer machine intelligence technologies in a nursing home environment is feasible, and will permit truly longitudinal, ecological studies of chronic care populations with continuous capture of objective measurements of their patterns of activities, behaviors and social interactions.
