SafeStep: AI-powered Travel Assistance for Elderly People with Frailty or Dementia
More than a million people in the UK suffer from frailty or dementia, which severely compromise their ability to travel in urban environments. This paper presents SafeStep, an AI-driven travel system that assists elderly users with their journeys. At the core of SafeStep is a novel travel graph representation, which integrates route planning with predictive modelling. For each stage of a journey, the system (i) generates personalized failure scenarios using a combi-nation of LLMs and the Anticip8 behavioral prediction engine, (ii) proposes targeted interventions, and (iii) estimates the impact of interventions on out-come probabilities. This enables SafeStep to select interventions that m...
