Abstract
The world is ageing fast and the need of efficient digital solution enabling elderlies to age at home is getting urgent. Unfortunately there is so far no such a solution which is sufficiently efficient, customizable, secure and reliable. This paper presents a solution called Ageing@home which is efficient, easy to deploy, privacy preserving, unobtrusive and customizable by making use of millimeter wave sensors, 5G network slicing and open unifying IoT platform. The paper provides a detailed description of the advantageous use of the millimeter wave sensors and present the proposed 5G network slicing alternative. An open unifying IoT platform capable of bridging diverse heterogeneous IoT devices from different vendors is also introduced.
