Patent number: 11551103Abstract: A physical environment is equipped with a plurality of sensors (e.g., motion sensors). As individuals perform various activities within the physical environment, sensor readings are received from one or more of the sensors. Based on the sensor readings, activities being performed by the individuals are recognized and the sensor data is labeled based on the recognized activities. Future activity occurrences are predicted based on the labeled sensor data. Activity prompts may be generated and/or facility automation may be performed for one or more future activity occurrences.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Washington State UniversityInventors: Diane J. Cook, Bryan Minor, Janardhan Rao Doppa

Patent number: 10896756Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for facilitating cognitive assessment are provided. Example embodiments provide a Cognitive Assessment Facilitator System CAFS, which facilitates the gathering and prediction of cognitive assessment of individuals using machine learning and sensors placed in the home of a resident. These predictive assessments can then be used by a clinician to further diagnose and/or provide health intervention. In one embodiment, the CAFS comprises a sensor input module, a machine learning engine (or algorithm as part of another component), a CAAB tool, and activity curve change engine (activity tools), and a reporting module 308. These components cooperate to process and transform smart home based sensor data into activity performance features and statistical activity features which are then processing through a machine learning engine to predict clinical cognitive assessment values.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2016Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: Washington State UniversityInventors: Diane J. Cook, Maureen E. Edgecombe, Prafulla N. Dawadi

Patent number: 9460350Abstract: A physical environment is equipped with a plurality of non-obtrusive sensors (e.g., motion sensors). As a plurality of residents perform various activities within the physical environment, sensor readings are received from one or more of the sensors. Based on the sensor readings, each of the plurality of residents is identified and locations of each of the plurality of residents are tracked.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Washington State UniversityInventors: Diane J. Cook, Aaron Spence Crandall

Patent number: 9251463Abstract: Activity templates are generated from one or more existing smart environments (e.g., source spaces) based on sensor data from the one or more existing smart environments that corresponds to known activities. A target activity template is then generated for a new smart environment, e.g., the target space. The source space activity templates are then mapped to the target activity templates to enable recognition of activities based on sensor data received from the target space.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: WSU Research FoundationInventor: Diane J. Cook

Publication number: 20150339591Abstract: Unlabeled and labeled sensor data is received from one or more source views. Unlabeled, and optionally labeled, sensor data is received from a target view. The received sensor data is used to train activity recognition classifiers for each of the source views and the target view. The sources and the target each include one or more sensors, which may vary in modality from one source or target to another source or target.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2015Publication date: November 26, 2015Inventors: Diane J. Cook, Kyle Feuz
