Abstract

All aspects of daily life increasingly include digitization. So-called „smart home“ technologies, as well as „wearables“, are gaining attention from more and more dwellers. Therefore, sensor-based, individualized, AI-based services for improved post-intervention monitoring and therapy accompaniment will become feasible and possible if these systems offer a related context-awareness. This paper provides an approach on how to sense and interpret specific contexts with the help of wearables, smartwatches, smart home sensors, and emotion detection software.

Keywords: emotion recognition; smart home; smart living; smartwatches; wearables
