Abstract
In this paper we describe the context-aware Adaptive Daily Rhythm Atmosphere (ADRA) system. The ADRA system is designed to stimulate the healing process of hospital patients, neurology patients in particular. We first report on the needs and issues of neurology patients identified by an observation study in a hospital neurology ward. Based on these needs, we define several concepts to promote the healing process. Finally, the context-aware system we have designed to realize these concepts is described.
