Abstract
With the proliferation of emerging technologies such as Internet of Things (IOT) and Radio Frequency identification (RFID), it is possible to collect massive amount of data for localization and tracking of people within commercial buildings & smart homes. In this paper we present the design, implementation and testing of an RFID system for monitoring the wandering about of an Elderly with Alzheimer’s at home. The novelty of the algorithm presented lies in its simplicity to detect the motion of elderly from one room to another for monitoring activity of daily living (ADL) and sending alert in case of an onset of emergency without the need for using massive sensors. The system was tested successfully in the lab and achieved an efficiency of 88%.
