Research Project: Sensor Signal Integration for vNurse at Smart Elderly Homes

Summary

This project is a first stage of a larger project for Smart Elderly Homes

The main goal of the project is to facilitate high-quality care and explore evidences of new health conditions of the patients which could result in reducing the readmission to hospital after discharge.

Due to COVID-19 the project has been retargeted to towards a Simulated Environment for Smart Elderly Home through simulation of sensor signals to replace the real sensor signals at an elderly home. 

 

This project integrates the sensor signals from several simulated sensors in an elderly home which represent different activities of an elderly in his/her home. A wide range of sensor signals will be integrated into events which will be used by a local mobile system (e.g., iPhone) to extract unusual patterns of activities and inform the homecare professionals or the close family members.
