Abstract

Aging of population and increasing complexity of domestic equipment justify the growth of scientific interest in surveillance of independent older adults at home. Our proposal focuses on imperceptibility of a sensing network which, besides detection of complex actions, analyses their irregularity and issues control commands to a safety-oriented active environment for living. The investigated design of mixed residential and wearable sensor network includes domestic equipment-embedded usage sensors and accelerometer-fitted footwear with a presence message broadcast. Synchronously detected events contribute to recognizing complex activities of daily living and to building personalized behavioral patterns. A short- or long-time variation of these patterns may be understood as a deterioration of psychophysiological status and, in context of particular device operation error, modifies the home automation algorithms accordingly. An implementation case study supported by results of volunteers-based experiment confirms the correctness of actions recognition and feasibility of the automatic system for user behavior-dependent safety prevention .
