Nursing homes are critical facilities for caring frail older adults with round-the-clock formal care and personal assistance. To ensure quality care for nursing home residents, adequate staffing level is of great importance. Current nursing…
Recent research in ubiquitous computing uses technologies of Body Area Networks (BANs) to monitor the person's kinematics and physiological parameters. In this paper we propose a real time mobile health system for monitoring elderly…
Distributed generation is widely being utilized, so the basic theme of this research is to have a hands-on experience to synchronize a Distributed Energy Resource (DER) to the Mains Grid. A control algorithm is implemented for energy supply…
Automation technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, whether it's in our homes, cars, or workplaces. Thanks to the various communication interfaces and standards available today, implementing monitoring and automation…
Falling continues to be a significant risk factor for older adults and other mobility limited individuals. Monitoring and maintaining clear, tripping hazard free pathways in living spaces is invaluable in helping people live independently…
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been adopted as merely data producers for years. However, the data collected by WSNs can also be used to manage their operation and avoid unnecessary measurements that do not provide any new knowledge…
Smart-home users increasingly want to control their homes in natural language rather than assemble rules, dashboards, and API integrations by hand. At the same time, real deployments are brittle: devices fail, integrations break, and…
With an increasing number of elders living alone, care-giving from a distance becomes a compelling need, particularly for safety. Real-time monitoring and action recognition are essential to raise an alert timely when abnormal behaviors or…
The population of elderly people keeps increasing rapidly, which becomes a predominant aspect of our societies. As such, solutions both efficacious and cost-effective need to be sought. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is a new approach which…
Time series forecasting is an important predictive methodology which can be applied to a wide range of problems. Particularly, forecasting the indoor temperature permits an improved utilization of the HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air…
This article discusses unexpected consequences of idealistic conceptions about the modernization of power grids. We will focus our analysis on demand-response policies based on automatic decisions by the so-called smart home appliances.…
Nowadays Digital Personal Assistants (DPA) become more and more popular. DPAs help to increase quality of life especially for elderly or disabled people. In this paper we develop an open source DPA and smart home system as a 3-rd party…
A new application for real-time monitoring of the lack of movement in older adults' own homes is proposed, aiming to support people's lives and independence in their later years. A lightweight camera monitoring system, based on an RGB-D…
In this paper I briefly discuss the importance of home automation system. Going in to the details I briefly present a real time designed and implemented software and hardware oriented house automation research project, capable of automating…
In this paper we present a prototype of a smart home system which can actuate different peripherals based on the emotional "arousal" level of an user. The system is comprised of two embedded subsystems named "Wearable" and "Benchtop" which…
Smart gadgets are being embedded almost in every aspect of our lives. From smart cities to smart watches, modern industries are increasingly supporting the Internet-of-Things (IoT). SysMART aims at making supermarkets smart, productive, and…
Using rules for home automation presents several challenges, especially when considering multiple stakeholders in addition to residents, such as homeowners, local authorities, energy suppliers, and system providers, who will wish to…
The world is expecting an aging population and shortage of healthcare professionals. This poses the problem of providing a safe and dignified life for the elderly. Technological solutions involving cameras can contribute to safety, comfort…
With the intensification of global aging, health management of the elderly has become a focus of social attention. This study designs and implements a smart elderly care service model to address issues such as data diversity, health status…
A Digital Twin is a virtual system that can fully describe a physical one. It constantly receives data from its counterpart's sensors, consults external sources, and obtains manual inputs from its stakeholders. The DT uses all this…
