Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the benefits that may be obtained by health care providers from the deployment of a social care oriented Telecare system focused on the non-invasive, ambient monitoring of individuals’ activity within their homes. The paper reports findings from Telecare deployments within Liverpool UK and discusses the benefits of a holistic monitoring approach, combining ambient and wearable monitoring, to support the provision of integrated care. This approach is currently being undertaken within a UK Government supported collaborative research project SAPHE which is introduced.

Keywords: telecare; remote monitoring; integrated care; ambient sensing; wearable sensing
