Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems based on sensor technologies are seen as key enablers to an ageing society. However, most approaches in this space do not provide a truly generic ambient space - one that is not only capable of assisting people with diverse medical conditions, but can also recognise the habits of healthy habitants, as well as those with developing medical conditions. The recognition...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are commonly considered as a key enabling technology for ambient assisted living (AAL) and smart home services. Essential requirements for this kind of applications are: small node size, long lifetime, little invasiveness and reliable communication over a range of few tens of meters even in presence of obstacles. For this reason, in this paper a low-cost WSN node architecture...
Ambient Assisted Living is pushing the development of innovative wireless monitoring solutions. Most of the available solutions are based on well known wireless communication standards, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or ZigBee. Moreover, there are also a few proprietary solutions, including those designed specifically for biomedical monitoring applications. The success of those solutions depends on many...
This paper presents a low power wireless acquisition module for use within wearable health monitoring systems and Ambient Assisted Living applications. The acquisition module provides continuous monitoring of the user's electrocardiogram (ECG) and activity, as well as the local temperature at the module. The module is placed on the chest of the user, and its wearability is achieved due to its fabrication...
