Covering Assisted Living Key Areas based on Home Automation Sensors

This paper presents an assisted living system for elderly people. The assisted living key areas comfort, safety and health are defined and discussed. A strategy is elaborated which mainly uses standard home automation sensors. The solution is based on the transformation of sensor signals by automata and fuzzy rules to detect safety-or health-critical situations. The role of comfort as an enabling factor is also described. A real pilot project to implement the solution is specified.
