Abstract

This paper presents results obtained in an ongoing project that deals with home care assistance for the elderly and disabled. The problems faced in this project cover many disciplines and can be studied using different approaches. Nowadays, e-health constitutes a young and expanding area that uses new technological innovation methods for social assistance. Methods and techniques from the Artificial Intelligence field offer a broad range of ideas and points of view for solving the problem. In particular, information systems and intelligent agents are two perspectives that deserve further study. Information systems provide a formal knowledge representation that models important tasks such as concept description and decision making. On the other hand, intelligent agents provide a mechanism to implement a rational behavior. The combination of both perspectives offers a valid solution to our problems.
