The Myriad Applications Of Ambient Intelligence In Healthcare

Ambient intelligence is a futuristic concept that makes explicit input and output data collection devices redundant in smart cities. Instead, data capturing and processing tools such as sensors, processors and actuators are embedded in everyday objects encountered by smart city inhabitants. Ambient intelligence, a concept related to pervasive computing, will exist in smart cities to add an added layer of functionality and convenience by adapting to user needs constantly. The embedded sensors and processors will be configured to collect contextual data from users, while AI-based tools will be deployed to draw inferences from the information collected to anticipate their future needs. Ambient intelligence makes pervasive computing more human-centric, a trait that is essential for healthcare.
