Abstract

Context-aware caring system is capable of effectively improving quality of health care in hospitals. Most of current context-aware health care systems adopt only simple context information, which only provide limited supports to caregivers. In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of a new situation-aware caring system for smart wards, which combines multiple contexts and infer patients' "situations". This system is built and evaluated in a real-world hospital. We also report lessons learned, preliminary results of empirical deployment, and questionnaire surveys of caregivers.
