Multi-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 work together to ensure the wellbeing of elders in their daily activities. This paper aims to model the interaction process of different actors with SafeRoute, an AAL system that pretends monitoring elders in their day-today daily living activities in outdoor environments. SafeRoute merges sensor data provided by different sensors built in mobile devices to provide alert mechanisms for caregivers.
