A Configurable Sensor Network Applied to Ambient Assisted Living
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rising older people population has increased the interest in ambient assisted living systems. This article presents a system for monitoring the disabled or older persons developed from an existing surveillance system. The modularity and adaptability characteristics of the system allow an easy adaptation for a different purpose. The proposed system uses a network of sensors capable of motion detection that includes fall warning, identification of persons and a configurable control system which allows its use in different scenarios.

متن کاملMulti-sensory Tracking of Elders in Outdoor Environments on Ambient Assisted Living
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is an emergent area that provides useful mechanisms that allows tracking elders through opportunistic sensoring, for example, using mobile devices. In that sense, it is necessary a permanent attention to these people by caregivers and relatives and a growing necessity to create mechanism to support this task. In our proposal, we have a network of caregivers that wo...
