In this paper, we present a software tool for in- home resident activity simulation, incorporating now an environmental sound module, and developed for the purpose of home health care data fusion studies. Activities, represented by displacements scenarios and modeled using a Markov model, are correlated with ambient audio events. Physiological and environmental data are also integrated in the simulation...
This paper describes the architecture, operation and implementation of the B-Live home automation system. This system has been developed at Micro I/O for assisting elderly and disabled people in their homes. The paper also discusses the demonstrator deployed at the CMRRC Rovisco Pais and proposes an improved information exchange mechanism for the B-Live system.
