Abstract

The proposed paper presents multiagent-based architecture for home care system. In the first section, our motivation is described. The next section deals with basic hardware components and communication requirements. Third is brief introduction to multiagent systems followed by fourth section describes architecture for basic function of home care system. The fifth section deals with usability of wearable sensors to create synergic effect with home care system. The last section presents trials of wearable sensor’s implementation.
