Anticipation-driven Adaptive Architecture for Assisted Living

TL;DR

This paper proposes an anticipation-driven adaptive architecture designed to enhance assisted living by stimulating independent action in individuals with diminished anticipatory capabilities, aiming to improve medical care and aging support.

Contribution

It introduces a novel adaptive environment framework that is personalized and adaptable to promote independence in assisted living settings.

Findings

Framework supports individualized adaptive responses

Potential to improve independence in assisted living

Applicable to medical care and aging support

Abstract

Anticipatory expression underlies human performance. Medical conditions and, especially, aging result in diminished anticipatory action. In order to mitigate the loss, means for engaging still available resources (capabilities) can be provided. In particular, anticipation-driven adaptive environments could be beneficial in medical care, as well as in assisted living for those seeking such assistance. These adaptive environments are conceived to be individualized and individualizable, in order to stimulate independent action instead of creating dependencies.
