A Mobile Approach to Ambient Assisted Living
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a mobile Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solution designed to meet the requirements of modern health services in caring for, monitoring and motivating the elderly in their own environment. Our solution goes beyond the function of classical tele-monitoring by delivering integrated functionality that includes health management, mental monitoring, mood assessment as well as physical and relaxation exercises. In addition we provide communication and delivery services in location-based manner using built in GPS, WiFi and 3G mobile connectivity. Bluetooth compatible blood pressure and body weight measurement devices are complemented with a body-mounted wireless physiological sensor to monitor activity, body temperature and stress. Telemetric data is continuously recorded on a local host computer while simultaneously being also sent to a central database, where a rule-based system or monitoring health personnel may make emergency assessment.
