Knowledge Sharing and Case-Based Reasoning in Geriatric Care

Contents

This paper presents preliminary research in Knowledge Sharing and Case-Based Reasoning to support the long term care of Alzheimer’s Disease patients. Teams of geriatric health care professionals currently develop care plans for patients without computer assistance. Our goals are to facilitate team interaction and to provide decision support for the efficient development of high quality care plans. The difficulties inherent in representing the evolving nature of the disease and in capturing the perspectives of team members from different disciplines make this a rich domain for AI research.
