Abstract
The population of Western countries has notoriously aged during the last decades, thus increasing the number of people living in retirement houses. This causes that, in certain circumstances, the staff of these residences can not properly take care of all the users due to several situations. For that reason, the usage of solutions based on Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) to support such staff has arisen over the last years. In this context, the present work introduces a new Smart Assistance solution for retirement houses. Based on a mobile-sensing paradigm, the proposed framework is able to collect several health and physical parameters of the users and visualize them in a central multi-platform dashboard. Furthermore, the system allows detecting certain abnormal or dangerous situations related to the residence’s users and send alarms to the staff providing also proactive functionalities. Our proposal is illustrated through a case of use for a patient in an early stage of the Alzheimer’s disease and a tendency to be sedentary.
