13.4 Assisted Living System for Health Care

Smart home assisted living system satisfies elders need. Instead of visiting clinics or hospitals frequently, this system authorizes the elders to stay in their convenient homes, providing the regular updates to the health professionals and care takers. This section briefs the research carried out for health care in terms of smart homes.

A client-server remote health monitoring system (Lee and Gatton 2010) was proposed to transfer health related data collected from smart home. Smart home remote technologies for health care services are reviewed along with advances in smart home health care and research directions (Majumder et al. 2017). This research also covered study on E-health services, E-prescription, M-Health services, emergency call, reminders and health assessment report.

A context aware system, which is based on ontology using IOT infrastructures, was developed (Alirezaie et al. 2017). Residents medical data like pulse rate and temperature are measured using shimmer sensors. Most of the health care applications provide health care solutions from the data collected using Body Area Network (BAN). Periodic patterns were identified from BAN data (Ismail and Hassan 2017). A Productive Periodic-Frequent Pattern (PPFP) growth algorithm is implemented for better decision making. Knee joint movement were keenly monitored and analysed using inertial sensors (Bertomeu-Motos et al. 2017). The analysis was helpful in creating an upper limb exoskeleton.

With the support of elders residing in old age home, regular habits and physiological status of elderly people were collected using a multi agent data analysis system m-health (Mendes et al. 2017). Data was collected using Fitbit wristbands (Diaz et al. 2015) and analysed using clustering algorithms.
