Abstract
Existing health monitoring systems detect either acute health issues or long-term deterioration of health. This paper presents a validation concept for sensors and algorithms that detect emergencies and monitor long term health development. The reviewed ambient monitoring system combines a short term rule based and a long term scoring approach that are validated in a study with 100 households. The resulting dataset is complemented by diaries and participation of care givers. Care givers monitor the health state through questionnaires and by rating generated alerts and warnings. The validation benefits from this multilateral approach and points towards a further integration of long and short-term monitoring.
