Health trauma and well-being assistant for Bengali seniors in household: a multimodal approach

Citation

Abstract

The increasing number of elderly individuals living alone has emerged as a pressing global concern. Our research aims to address this issue by developing advanced modules that can be integrated into a system that enhances the quality of life for older adults. The modules focus on medicine detection, fall detection, reminders for important tasks and events and providing companionship through friendly verbal interactions. Through the integration of cutting-edge deep learning techniques, diverse models and natural language processing (NLP), we have successfully designed an effective medication and well-being assistant. These modules use computer vision technology along with reinforced learning from human feedback and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to reach our goal. The modules can be integrated into systems to empower elderly individuals to lead more active and fulfilling lives. Finally, this research contributes to the well-being and happiness of the elderly, highlighting the significance of comprehensive support systems in promoting their overall well-being.
