Zusammenfassung
We present the first phase of a project for monitoring
elderly people suffering from dementia in the real life
environment of an assisted living flat associated with a nursing
home. Based on monitoring requirements derived in discussions
with the nursing staff the system consists of a UBISENSE
location system for monitoring location, a sound-system for
monitoring vocal interaction, and the TECO Particles sensor
nodes mounted under the beds for sleep monitoring. In this paper
we introduce the background and environment of the project,
describe the requirements and the system and present some initial
data collected in the first deployment period.
