Abstract

Self-care will be a key driver to save the economy in Western countries, and technology can support it. This paper proposes to use the well-known Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) [3] [8] architecture, in addition to guidancemobility patterns in order that people with dementia, their caretakers and relatives can feel more safe while maintaining freedom of mobility. Agent architectures are evaluated and a BDI approach taking care of user preference and routes is embedded in an existing prototype that can predict individual walking routes of elders and assist them to get back on track if they start getting lost.
