Abstract
Advances in health care technologies are radically impacting the management of chronic diseases by providing a new long-term care option that combines supportive systems for monitoring and assessing the patients’ health status with activities of daily living. In this respect, this paper presents a mobile reasoning system which can be used to build knowledge-based Decision Support Systems for monitoring and managing ubiquitously and seamlessly chronic patients, specifically designed and developed as a light-weight solution suitable for resource-limited mobile devices. The system is devised to offer knowledge representation and reasoning facilities able to face and efficiently reason on the continuous and real-time flow of data generated by the sensor devices with the final aim of providing answers within a prescribed time and given constraints on the processing power and resources.
