Design of a System of Systems (SoS) for the Interoperability of Non-Invasive Sensors for the Care of Older People

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2019 Aug 21:264:1572-1573. doi: 10.3233/SHTI190540.

Abstract

We propose the design of a system of systems (SoS) called Seniors Guardian as an integrated environment for healthcare monitoring, in which several non-invasive sensors coexist to monitor falls, nocturia, perseverant behaviors, air quality (carbon monoxide), humidity, and temperature in real time. The modular architecture also allows the integration of new components. This research adheres to the use of Internet of Things to develop ambient assisted living in smart homes.
