Due to the ageing population, real-time and autonomous health monitoring is an emerging priority in ambient assisted living. In this work, a wireless sensor network is proposed for home environments by which the sensors are dualmode radars, enabling concurrent remote localization of a person (i.e., without use of a tag) and fall detection. We elaborate on the network architecture, and in particular...
Fall incidents are considered one of the most dangerous hazards for elderly people. In this regard, radar techniques can be used to develop a long-term fall detector system in home environment. The key relies on measuring and assessing the different changes in speed experienced during a fall and a normal movement. In this paper, the accuracy of a fall detector based on Doppler radar is analyzed comparing...
Telehealth systems and applications are extensively investigated nowadays to enhance the quality-of-care and, in particular, to detect emergency situations and to monitor the well-being of elderly people, allowing them to stay at home independently as long as possible. In this paper, an embedded telehealth system for continuous, automatic, and remote monitoring of real-time fall emergencies is presented...
