Anticipation-driven Adaptive Architecture for Assisted Living (2110.15387v1)

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.
