Parallel processing of qualitative and quantitative data in the Fritz Method. The nurse collects qualitative data to contextualize quantitative sensor data for training the Smart Home AI agent. The middleware (software) receives ON/OFF text-based data and identifies individual sensors. Sophisticated activity-aware algorithms label incoming data (e.g., grooming, sleeping, leaving home). Nurse annotated data sets are used to train the machine to recognize a change in health state.
