“…Com o aumento na expectativa de vida e a diminuição no número de filhos por casal, é natural esperar um aumento na idade média da população. Esse processo acaba causando profundas mudanças na sociedade, já tendo ocorrido em vários países da Europa, e está atualmente ocorrendo em países emergentes como o Brasil [2]. Um exemplo disso é a mudança no sistema previdenciário brasileiro, aprovada em 2019 1 , para aumentar a idade mínima para aposentadoria.…”

With the growing increase in the population’s life expectancy, it isnatural that more and more aged people make use of technologicaltools. Those tools need to meet the necessities of this public that, ingeneral, has more difficulties to deal with technologies. This paperdescribes the development process of a system built for a supporthome for elderly people and volunteers with little experience inusing computerized systems. It is a technological support tool thehelps the institution in a safe and reliable way. Usability problemsfor seniors have been minimized with specific guidelines.

A novel ecosystem to promote the physical, emotional and psychic health and well-being of the elderly is presented. Our proposal was designed to add several services developed to meet the needs of the senior population, namely services to improve social inclusion and increase contribution to society. Moreover, the solution monitors the vital signs of elderly individuals, as well as environmental parameters and behavior patterns, in order to seek eminent danger situations and predict potential hazardous issues, acting in accordance with the various alert levels specified for each individual. The platform was tested by seniors in a real scenario. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed ecosystem was well accepted and is easy to use by seniors.

“…This presents a new paradigm for Brazilians, who must now deal with the rapid increase in the number of older people living in single-person households without the eldercare infrastructure that is available in developed countries. Although assisted living communities are commonly available in more developed nations, they are virtually non-existent in countries like Brazil [30], where even nursing homes are limited [6,11]. Satisfying an older person's desire to age in place, often poses a safety risk and puts financial strain on families needing to hire help for the older person [5,30].…”

Satisfying an older person's desire to age in place, often poses a safety risk and puts financial strain on families needing to hire help for the older person [5,30]. This points to the need for a system that can monitor the older person's wellbeing and alert concerned family and friends.…”

This paper proposes and describes an unsupervised computational model that monitors an elderly person who lives alone and issues alarms when a risk to the elderly person’s well-being is identified. This model is based on data extracted exclusively from passive infrared motion sensors connected to a ZigBee wireless network. The proposed monitoring system and model is non-intrusive, does not capture any images, and does not require any interaction with the monitored person. Thus, it is more likely to be adopted by members of the elderly population who might reject other more intrusive or complex types of technology. The developed computational model for activity discovery employs a kernel estimator and local outlier factor calculation, which are reliable and have a low computational cost. This model was tested with data collected over a period of 25 days from two elderly volunteers who live alone and have fairly different routines. The results demonstrate the model’s ability to learn relevant behaviors, as well as identify and issue alarms for atypical activities that can be suggestive of health problems. This low-cost, minimalistic sensor network approach is especially suited to the reality of underdeveloped (and developing) countries where assisted living communities are not available and low cost and ease of use are paramount.
