The design and technology implementation phase pays special attention to all building, plant, and sensor components to ensure maximum effectiveness against the most significant parameters for the WellNest approach. The design is based on the assumption that people live and move in physical environments from which information represented by digital data and signals can be acquired.
The primary objective of the WellNest approach is to design an ecosystem of technology components, combining traditional signal and data interfaces and adaptive multimodal interfaces based on the ability to extract from text, vision, speech, gestures, and with advanced visualization and navigation techniques, to acquire and collect this information making the environment interconnected and collaborative.
By modeling this information through a cognitive computing platform based on intelligent artificial networks, a “symbiotic cognitive environment” can be brought to life, enabling the construction of a new cognitive knowledge base capable of supporting complex decision-making processes to support user needs and concepts of well-being, safety and security.
This intelligent and modular architecture can adapt to multiple scenarios, processes and users, realizing a “digital twin” of the physical environment. The architecture can dynamically evolve and refine itself by increasing “situational and context awareness.”
Intelligence modeling (.AI.W(ell)N(est) or .AI.WN), designed to track and interact with humans and devices during normal daily life, aims to define, by means of inputs from different disciplines (such as engineering, physics, electronics, computer science, biomaterials, alternative energy, cognitive science, and so on), holistic approaches aimed at examining the complexity of ecosystem factors and supporting the concepts of wellness, resilience, safety & security.
The .AI.WN system pursues a “One Digital Health” approach that aims, from a digital perspective, to transform physical, clinical, environmental, and mental wellness scenarios into an extended care concept that includes clinical monitoring, maintenance of appropriate environmental biodiversity, prevention and safety measures.
Methodologically, the .AI.WN system operates on three levels: perception, understanding, and projection.
It is perceiving the state, attributes and dynamics of relevant elements in the environment.
This level involves the processes of monitoring and sensing signals, leading to awareness of multiple situational elements (events, objects, people, environmental factors, systems) and their states (positions, conditions, modes, actions).
Provides for a synthesis of disjointed elements through the processes of pattern recognition, interpretation and evaluation, integrating this information to understand how it will affect the defined goals and objectives with respect to the user and the environment.
Involves the ability to project future actions of elements in the environment to achieve defined goals.
This level is achieved through knowledge of the state and dynamics of the elements and an understanding of the situation, and, therefore, by making predictions over time to determine how future states of the environment will be affected.
Time is an important concept for the .AI.WN system because it itself is a dynamic construct, changing by virtue of the actions of individuals, events, task characteristics, and the surrounding environment.
