Resumen
Recommendation systems are crucial in the provision of services to the elderly with Alzheimer?s disease in IoT-based smart home environments. In this work, a Reminder Care System (RCS) is presented to help Alzheimer patients live in and operate their homes safely and independently. A contextual bandit approach is utilized in the formulation of the proposed recommendation system to tackle dynamicity in human activities and to construct accurate recommendations that meet user needs without their feedback. The system was evaluated based on three public datasets using a cumulative reward as a metric. Our experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed Reminder Care System for real-world IoT-based smart home applications.
