Una piattaforma mobile inserita all'interno di ambienti intelligenti (strutture di assistenza o abitazioni), controllata e gestita attraverso un'architettura multilivello, viene proposta come supporto sia per i pazienti che per i caregiver al fine di aumentare l'autonomia nella vita quotidiana. A project based on the integration of new technologies and artificial intelligence to develop a device – e-tool – for disabled patients and elderly people is presented. A mobile platform in intelligent environments (skilled-care facilities and home-care), controlled and managed by a multi-level architecture, is proposed to support patients and caregivers to increase self-dependency in activities of daily living. %B Recenti Progressi in Medicina %I Pensiero scientifico %V 95 %P 190–195 %G eng %N 4 %R 10.1701/39.314 %0 Journal Article %J AI Communications %D 2003 %T Assistive technologies for the disabled and for the new generation of senior citizens: The e-Tools architecture %A Cortés, Ulises %A Annicchiarico, Roberta %A Vázquez-Salceda, Javier %A Urdiales, Cristina %A Lola Cañamero %A Maite López %A Miquel Sànchez-Marrè %A Carlo Caltagirone %X In this paper we present our exploratory ideas about the integration of agent technology with other technologies to build specific e-tools for the disabled and for the new generation of senior citizens. "e-Tools" stands for Embedded Tools, as we aim to embed intelligent assistive devices in homes and other facilities, creating ambient intelligence environments to give support to patients and caregivers. In particular, we aim to explore the benefits of the concept of situated intelligence to build artefacts that will enhance the autonomy of the target user group in their daily life. %B AI Communications %I IOS Press %C Amsterdam, The Netherlands %V 16 %P 193–207 %G eng %U http://content.iospress.com/articles/ai-communications/aic288 %N 3 %0 Book Section %B e-Health: Application of Computing Science in Medicine and Health Care %D 2003 %T e-Tools: The use of Assistive Technologies to enhance disabled and senior citizens’ autonomy %A Cortés, Ulises %A Annicchiarico, Roberta %A Vázquez-Salceda, Javier %A Urdiales, Cristina %A Lola Cañamero %A Maite López %A Miquel Sànchez-Marrè %A Carlo Caltagirone %E I Rudomín %E J Vázquez-Salceda %E J L Díaz de León Santiago %X In this paper we present our preliminary ideas about the integration of several technologies to build specific e-tools for the disabled and for the new generation of senior citizens. ‘e-Tools’ stands for Embedded Tools, as we aim to embed intelligent assistive devices in homes and other facilities, creating ambient intelligence environments to give support to patients and caregivers. In particular, we aim to explore the benefits of the concept of situated intelligence to build intelligent artefacts that will enhance the autonomy of the target group during their daily life. We present here a multi-level architecture and our preliminary research on navigation schemes for a robotic wheelchair. %B e-Health: Application of Computing Science in Medicine and Health Care %I Instituto Politécnico National Press %P 119–132 %G eng
