Safety and Well-Being Monitoring System for Multi Residential Scenarios

The efficient delivery of health and care services is one of the key challenges posed by the aging population worldwide. This challenge becomes even more difficult due to the growing incidence of neurological disorders among the elderly, resulting from longer life expectancies. In response to these concerns, smart home environments are often equipped with various sensors designed to monitor the activity and health status of elderly residents. However, the implementation of these sensor-based systems introduces a significant obstacle when multiple individuals share the same household, particularly when attempting to correlate sensor-generated events with the specific resident whose actions caused them. Conventional methods frequently depend on extensive prior knowledge, including detailed sensor layouts, floor plans, and annotated data, or on the use of evaluation boards or non-commercial devices. However, both methods tend to have significant limitations in real-world applications. To address these challenges, a lightweight and easy-To-use safety and well-being monitoring system based on Bluetooth Low energy Tags is introduced. The effectiveness of the multi-residential monitoring system is demonstrated in real scenarios in which a couple of elderly people have been monitored during their daily life for twenty-one days.
