Abstract

Assistive technology has been used to assist people with different types of chronic disease, to monitor, remind and guide them through activities of daily living (ADL) in the home environment. This research aims to consider the integration of assistive technology to support self management for three chronic diseases, namely stroke, chronic pain and congestive heart failure. A personalised self-management system (PSMS) is under development. This paper outlines the PSMS infrastructure and presents the current work on the system design.
