Assistive technologies are deployed to preserve good health and security of elderly people living independently in their own home. One such technology is the indoor localization which helps to detect the level of their daily activities. Among low intrusive technologies, the RF signal strength (RSSI) is a very attractive approach as it does not need additional localization hardware and is being already...
Nowadays monitoring physiological signals in real situations is essential to get the best diagnosis on patients. In this study we focus on the heat flux generated by the human body. We are developing a portable heat flux sensor using specific thermal materials.
Elderly patients unable to get up after a fall or to activate an alarm mechanism are particularly at risk of complications and need to be monitored with extreme care. The different risk factors have fostered the development of stand-alone devices facilitating early detection of falls. We aimed at assessing performance of the Vigi’Fall ® system, a cutting edge fall detector associating a “passive...
Une situation à risque pour la santé peut mettre en péril la vie ou l’autonomie de la personne, comme c’est le cas de la chute chez la personne âgée. Une approche multicritère pour sa détection est inévitable car la chute est un phénomène physique mal défini et que le contexte dans lequel apparaît une alarme de chute présumée est tout aussi important pour réduire les faux-positifs comme les faux-négatifs.
La télésurveillance médicale est une branche de la télémédecine qui vise à surveiller à distance les paramètres d’un patient. Celui-ci peut alors demeurer dans son environnement familier, voire professionnel, ce qui est devenu le souhait de tout patient. Cet article décrit les principes de ces dispositifs et cite les projets qui ont bénéficié à des patients.
To help elderly people live independently at home, the TIMC-IMAG laboratory developed Health Smart Homes called “HIS”. These smart Homes are composed of several sensors to monitor the activities of daily living of the patients. Volunteers have accepted to be monitored during 2 years in their own flats. During one year, we carried out our survey on one elderly patient. Thanks to this experimentation,...
