“…The first paper included in the review dated back to 1997, indicating that Celler"s study of 1995 could be considered as one of the earliest of this type. Of the 74 full articles reviewed, only the 4 [7,8,9,10] shown in Table 2 were concerned with trials involving over 20 subjects whilst a further 21 papers reported trials with fewer than 20 subjects. The full distribution of reported trials is then as shown in Fig.…”

Lifestyle, or behavioural monitoring is an important element of telecare research where changes in activity profiles are used as a proxy to highlight a change in an individual"s health or care status. However, despite the promise of this approach for users and care providers it has been slow to develop. A literature review was undertaken to establish the current position with regard to lifestyle monitoring and to use this to inform requirements for the future development and implementation of such systems. In total, 74 papers met the inclusion criteria. Only 4 papers reported trials involving 20 or more individuals with a further 17 papers reporting trials involving one or more individuals. Most papers (n=53) were concerned with technology development initiatives. With respect to the technologies and strategies employed, motion monitoring dominated, followed by door and electrical appliance usage. The predominant monitoring strategy is that of detecting changes in activity levels. However, it was noticeable that little attention was given to determining when or how changes in the profile of activity should be used to raise a call for assistance from a health or care professional.

“…The fall watch remains active until the participant leaves the bedroom and bathroom area (indicated by reported motion activity outside the bathroom or bedroom) or returns to bed (indicated by movement followed by detection of the pulse). With no motion detected after exiting the bed, the Data Manager can connect to the facility's pager system and sent the participant's identification code appended with the code for a "possible fall" to the caregiver [17].

“…The knowledge-acquired rules were also compared to automated supervised learning methods including, decision trees and Random Forests, and were found to be more reliable [16]. The acceptance, utility, and impact of the system on the different stake-holders including older adults, professional caregivers and informal caregivers were evaluated in a series of pre-experimental pilot studies in different care settings and presented in [17][18][19][20].…”

“…An extension of the pilot reported in [17] revealed that professional caregivers were able to utilize the monitoring data preventively. For example, at the earliest signs of increased restlessness coupled with more frequent nightly bathroom visits, an indicator of a potential urinary tract infection, caregivers intervened by increasing that resident's fluid intake, which can clear up the infection without pharmaceutical or clinical intervention.…”

Abstract-Americans are living longer, and research shows that seniors are embracing independence, and will benefit from living in the same place. These are the rationale for 'Aging in Place' and the development of Tiger Place, an "Aging in Place ' Environment in Columbia Missouri. Our goal is to minimize intrusion, allow the resident complete control over privacy and treatment (if any), and to provide substantive improvement in quality of life. Nevertheless there continues to be significant risks to the elderly which results in reduced functional and cognitive activity.While there has been much technology developed to ameliorate these factors, there is no comprehensive evaluation of the benefit of these devices nor a comprehensive strategy to improve the quality of life of seniors as determined by functional ability and possibly later cognitive ability.With our partners at the University of Virginia we are developing a system of sensors, to monitor the activity of seniors in their residences. We measure motion, footfalls, sleep and restlessness, we have stove sensors and sensing mats, all connected wirelessly to a computer which performs an initial evaluation and data transfer to a secure server for further study. Based upon the monitor data we will implement an intervention to ameliorate functional decline. Focus group studies determine the attitudes, concerns and impressions of the residents and staff.We find that senior's attitude to technology is healthy and they will try helpful approaches. In addition to the statistical comparisons, we model the data using hidden Markov models, integrate or fuse the monitor data with

Abstract:-As the technology increases the various attacks to the world also increases in form of diseases which cannot be cure in days. So t hey should be under the observation of doctor which will be some risk to the doctor for cont inuous observation. So to hold this condition we provide a system with an architecture of smart health protection using the WS Networking by which the sick people will be treated remotely and can be monitored without any interrupt. In this paper we are bri efing about the working of this system, cons and pros of the system. This WS networking system will be designed by using the Adhoc Networking with deployment of sensors to get a good quality of the medical treatment with very less expenses for consulting.
