Neuro-Symbolic Artificial Intelligence for Patient Monitoring

In this paper we argue that Neuro-Symbolic AI (NeSy-AI) should be applied for patient monitoring. In this context, we introduce patient monitoring as a special case of Human Activity Recognition and derive concrete requirements for this application area. We then present a process architecture and discuss why NeSy-AI should be applied for patient monitoring. To further support our argumentation, we show how NeSy-AI can help to overcome certain technical challenges that arise from this application area.
