kits. According to Gorden E. Moore's famous paper in 1965 [64], transistor den-
sity on integrated circuits doubles every couple of years. This exponential growth
and ever-shrinking chip size results in more affordable Ambient Diagnostic de-
vices.
Errors or mistakes are as inherent a possibility for ambient intelligence in
scientific discovery as they are to any human activity. This initial study is no
exception. Nevertheless, we hope that by presenting our findings we may inspire
further explorations in this area of research.
