Abstract: Performance of sensor-based telemonitoring and home support systems depends, among other characteristics, on the reliability of the adopted sensors. Although binary sensors are quite used in the literature and also in commercial solutions to identify user’s activities, they are prone to noise and errors. In this paper, we present a hierarchical approach, based on machine learning techniques, aimed at reducing error from the sensors. The proposed approach is aimed at improving the classification accuracy in detecting if a user is at home, away, alone or with some visits. It has been integrated in a sensor-based telemonitoring and home support system. Results show an overall improvement of 15% in accuracy with respect to a rule-based approach. The system is part of the BackHome project and is currently running in 2-healthy-users’ home in Barcelona and in 3-end-users’ home in Belfast.
