ISISEMD project aims to provide a pilot of intelligent system to support independent living of persons with cognitive problems or mild dementia. The primary user of the system is the elderly but the services are also designed to support caregivers and relatives in patients daily care. Services and user scenario are analyzed together with four end-user organizations that participate in the project...
Supporting ageing in place and staying at home, delaying institutionalization, lightening the caregivers' burden, improving the elderly quality of life are as many expectations that TeleHealthCare aims at coming up to. This paper proposes a method for Telemonitoring to detect abnormal changes in behavior which may lead to an early entrance in dependency. This method allows to detect and quantify a...
Free of most social constraints, elderly people tend to perform activities of daily living following the same sequence. This paper proposes a method for medical telesurveillance to detect and quantify a nycthemeral shift in this daily routine. While this common phenomenon is mostly mild, in acute cases, however, it may reveal a pathological behavior requiring a rapid medical examination. This method...
Elderly people living in isolated islands and remote area have difficulties to have sufficient nursing care services due to the lack of human and physical resources. Tele-care system is expected to overcome these problems. We proposed two kinds of tele-care systems for an isolated Goto island in Nagasaki prefecture. One is a community size watching system and the other is a private size watching system...
As we grow old, our desire for independence does not diminish; yet our health increasingly needs to be monitored. Injuries such as falling can be a serious problem for the elderly. If a person falls and is not able to get assistance within an hour, casualties arising from that fall can result in fatalities as early as 6 months later. It would seem then that a choice between safety and independence...
The paper describes a strategy to implement an alarm component in a server from a tele-assistance / tele-monitoring system to assist elderly persons. The system consists of units located at the homes of the monitored persons collecting and sending medical and environmental data from sensors and a call centre with a server for recording and monitoring the data. Here, specialised staff will support...
