Abstract

The increasing demands for access to healthcare services due to aging populations and the worldwide shortage of professional healthcare workers have driven people to consider alternative healthcare arrangements where technology is being used to assist living. Radio frequency identification (RFID) complemented with sensor technology is a key enabler of systems for technology assisted living. This paper proposes an in-home assisted living mobile application to support independent living and cognitive self-rehabilitation of elderly with dementia as a result of normal aging.
