Alert management for home healthcare based on home automation analysis

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2010:2010:2128-31. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2010.5627249.

Abstract

Rising healthcare for elder and disabled people can be controlled by offering people autonomy at home by means of information technology. In this paper, we present an original and sensorless alert management solution which performs multimedia and home automation service discrimination and extracts highly regular home activities as sensors for alert management. The results of simulation data, based on real context, allow us to evaluate our approach before application to real data.
