Pressure-sensitive mat (PSM) technology offers several advantages as a sensor modality for patient monitoring since it is non-contact and unobtrusive. However, as we move to deploy PSM for long-term continuous patient monitoring, we must consider and characterize their metrological properties that arise due to their electrical, mechanical or optical construction. We evaluate the dynamic metrological...
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) systems will play an important role in the future of healthcare. They will be used to monitor chronic conditions, but may also be employed to detect acute medical conditions and generate alarms in real-time. This real-time responsiveness is a critical design criterion for acute condition detection. The data rate of each sensor represents a hard real-time threshold;...
There is a growing demand for systems that support independent living into advanced age. Technologies that monitor changes in the amount of time older adults spend in bed have the potential to detect critical changes in mobility and support earlier health intervention. Although under mattress sensors have been used previously, processing algorithms were designed for short term monitoring. The objective...
This paper presents the architecture, sensing and results of a context-aware smart home monitoring system based on pressure measurement sequences. It focuses on the analysis of transfers performed by the occupant in the bedroom and bathroom to assess if their behavior is within a normal range of motion. Pressure sensors are placed under the bed mattress and embedded in the grab bars of a toilet commode...
