Abstract

This work illustrates a localization system specifically designed to be applied in “Il Paese Ritrovato”, a highly innovative health-care facility for people affected by Alzheimer’s disease in Monza, Italy. Patients are provided with an iBeacon bracelet broadcasting data packets that are collected through the use of a dense network of devices acting as receiving antennas. The system evaluates the path-loss of the received signal and corrects the computed position with a probabilistic approach to avoid wall-crossing. Localization data are merged with information from other IoT devices such as smart sensors, appliances and expert annotations; the resulting dataset will be extremely important to analyze behaviors, habits and social interactions among patients.
