With the accelerated ageing of the world population, progressively more people suffer from age-related illnesses and have the necessity to be monitored and assisted continually in the hospitals, in nursing homes or even better at home. It's demonstrated that the investigation of elderly patients' habits and movements can achieve an early detection of many disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or senile...
As the population lives longer, more and more individuals are diagnosed with age-related illnesses and need to be monitored and assisted continually, possibly at home. Evidence proves that the examination of high-risk patients' movements and behavior can help the early detection of disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or major depression. In this contribution we describe the exploitation of a 2.45...
This paper exploits the functionalities of an RFID reader combining the RADAR-monopulse technology with beam steering capability, able to interact with tagged objects widely distributed in harsh electromagnetic (EM) environments. The reader capabilities are investigated in a new application scenario: people movements estimation in a typical room ambient. The device is able not only to detect the angular...
A new long-distance microwave reading system is introduced, that we shall call RID (Remotely Identify and Detect), able to locate and identify objects in harsh indoor environments. This is obtained by augmenting standard RFID reader operations with the mono-pulse RADAR principle and electronic beam scanning capabilities. In this way reading failures due to operation in severe fading environments are...
