Assistive Home Automation Lab

Description

The assistive home automation activities are focused on the assessment of the well-being of users in the domestic environment in the field of Active and Assisted Living (AAL). Ad hoc sensor networks are designed to monitor the behaviour, health and quality of life of people based on their needs and pathologies and advanced techniques to process data and signals are studied to define the user profile. The final aim is to allow the implementation of innovative services.
In this area, the following technologies are available:

Sensors to monitor physiological parameters
Wearable sensors
Sensor network for monitoring the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) of users in their home
Smart objects to install in the home environment (e.g. fridge, device to monitor the air quality)
