Abstract: This paper presents a system based on WSN technology capable of monitoring heart rate and the rate of motion of seniors within their homes. The system is capable of remotely alerting specialists, caretakers or family members via a smartphone of rapid physiological changes due to falls, tachycardia or bradycardia. This work was carried out using our workgroup's WiSe platform, which we previously developed for use in WSNs. The proposed WSN architecture is flexible, allowing for greater scalability to better allo… Show more

“…We classify these entities into three categories: agents, devices and geography elements. These may be interpreted as an overview for much of the different types of objects that compose a home in the vast literature e.g., [40][41][42][43] that can be found nowadays about smart homes, smart environments or ambient assisted living (just to name a few of the most common terms found). Analogous to Figure 1 these are represented as user-centred graphics as in Figure 2.…”

“…To notice also that it isn't our intention to replace existing architectures or frameworks already presented in other projects ex: [1,2,4,16,[40][41][42][43]. Truly some can "fit" inside this model, have their own model or represent also other models for smart homes.…”

“…Once the system is implemented, family members and nursing staff or doctors are able to monitor the health condition of the user (patient) through the internet connection on their smart phones or computers [17]. Another point is that this system is able to react in case of emergency situations or the detection of falls, creating an immediate emergency notification to the family and staff members via adequate applications [18]. Also, the system itself is limited to automated decisions and their performance.…”

“…Consequently, numerous research institutions and industrial companies have become interested in developing applications that use WSNs, including the monitoring of oriental fruit flies, (3) air pollution, (4) motor faults, (5) volcanic eruptions, (6) and home healthcare. (7) For some applications, localization accuracy is crucial, and has thus been the focus of much research. Some of the WSNs that can estimate locations most precisely use high-cost nodes, which locate each other using a global positioning system (GPS), but these negate the low-cost advantage of WSNs.…”
