Rule-Based Inquiry Service to Elderly at Home for Efficient Mind Sensing

Abstract

To support in-home long-term care, we are studying techniques of Mind Sensing, which externalizes internal states of elderly people as words through conversations with agents or robots. We have previously developed a prototype system of Mind Sensing, integrated with an activity recognition system and an LINE chatbot. However, the system was tightly coupled with the fixed systems, it was difficult to add or change the setting of questions from the chatbot to individual elderly people.
