Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Proceedings from the 10th Annual International Conference on Smart Homes and Health Telematics
- Year Published: 2012
We present an example of unobtrusive, continuous monitoring in the
home for the purpose of assessing early health changes. Sensors embedded in
the environment capture activity patterns. Changes in the activity patterns are
detected as potential signs of changing health. A simple alert algorithm has
been implemented to generate health alerts to clinici...
