Abstract

Increased life expectancy and motivational support for the pursuit of independent living for active seniors have been introducing a number of challenges for the families and care monitoring personnel. In general, this class of aging seniors are healthy enough that they can afford to continue to have the independent living life styles but also are old enough that one still needs to have some levels of monitoring of their movements and activities in their private dwellings. These motions and activities can be monitored through a network of connected sensors at each individual’s dwelling where they can be networked to form a monitoring cluster. The objective is then to be able to present and visualize such movements and activities information to the monitoring personnel. This paper reviews various sensing modalities which can be used in monitoring movements and activities of seniors and presents an overview of visualization techniques which have been utilized in various similar applications. In addition the paper highlights a conceptual framework which can be used to visualize movements and activities in a cluster of such sensor network.
