  • Chapter
Ambient Assisted Living

Part of the book series: Advanced Technologies and Societal Change ((ATSC))

Abstract

In a study 100 households will be equipped with a low-cost ambient monitoring system for activity recognition. These monitoring systems should identify emergency situations and evaluate the health state of a person. Complemented by the support of service providers from the area of nursing, additional reference information through interviews and self-documentation is collected. Through a central web platform all data is bundled and linked together. We will present initial results from the evaluation in the form of a preliminary study with 14 subjects. They form the basis for the rollout in 100 households.
