Abstract

The INCA (Intelligent Community Support for the Elderly) architecture is based on the integration of a number of autonomous systems; home monitoring, community alarms, care management systems and emergency systems command and control systems using agent technology to build effective co-ordinated care systems. It is possible, by taking an agent-based approach to allow each of the agencies involved in community care to communicate effectively so that they can co-ordinate care provision by the use of wrappers. In this way, users can use the exiting services, with which they are fully familiar, effectively and are able to take full advantage of the full range of communication facilities without compromising privacy and confidentiality.
