As the average age of the citizens increases, cities must provide new services for the emerging problem. The City4Age project aims to provide meaningful interventions to address the problems related to Mild Cognitive Impairment and Frailty in elderly citizens. As part of the City4Age project we have developed a flexible and scalable data capturing and management infrastructure which combines both...
Detecting how elderly people interact with their surrounding environment, especially with domestic electrical appliances, is an important parameter to assess Mild Cognitive Impairments and frailty issues. This paper proposes an innovative approach for monitoring elderly behavior by detecting home appliance's usage. It is based on an unobtrusive smart meter that periodically measures the global power...
Current manually-operated SOS systems used in Rallying are ineffective when driver and co-driver cannot push the SOS button due to loss of consciousness after the impact. The SafeRally service proposes a low-cost pilot monitoring system, to associate with existing tracking systems, able to automatically notify a serious accident, when both the driver and the co-driver cannot request help by themselves...
When hazardous events occurs in buildings or in large environments with different access points and with a large number of users, rescue workers (firefighters, first aid workers, civil protection teams, etc.) need to intervene in a timely manner, where there is a certainty that there are users to help. Topically such events require avoiding waste of resources in environments where there are no people...
The rapid aging of the population occurred in recent years has encouraged the development of several solutions aimed to guarantee a healthy and safe lifestyle to the elderly. In this paper, an Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) system has been designed in order to create better living conditions for older people. In this way, people can live independently longer in their own house with an improved quality...
Sports and recreational activities provide an interesting domain of research that includes several of the critical challenges for next generation of services. The adoption of emerging Internet of Things technologies into the field of sport could significantly improve the sport experience and also the safety level of team sports. To this purpose, this paper presents a novel Sport System based on the...
Over the last few years, the convincing forward steps in the development of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabling solutions are spurring the advent of novel and fascinating applications. Among others, mainly radio frequency identification (RFID), wireless sensor network (WSN), and smart mobile technologies are leading this evolutionary trend. In the wake of this tendency, this paper proposes a novel,...
