The article talks on how fuzzy logic can be used to improve the lives of the elderly citizens. Fuzzy logic in simple terms deals with the computational representation of values which we tend to estimate approximately.
According to the article,Research at Leicester's De Montfort University (DMU) and the University of Missouri is progressing to incorporate the advances in Fuzzy logic technology to make the lives of elder folks simpler.
The funding has been provided by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
The essence of the fuzzy logic technique is to measure several characteristics about the habits of elderly people and provide vital feedback on their health. As quoted by the research fellow at DMU's Centre for Computational Intelligence (CCI), Dr Simon Coupland, described fuzzy logic as making things "to an extent grey". The CCI will work with the University of Missouri's Centre for Eldercare and Rehabilitation Technology (Cert) which has been associated extensive research centering around sensor technology.
Thorough trials mean it may take another 5 to 6 years before a realtime practical implementation hits the markets,more importantly researchers believe that this kind of technology will play an important role in allowing people to lead more active lives in the future with less dependence on social care.
