Senior Design Team sddec18-14 • IoT Passive Monitoring for Assisted Living Homes


Problem Statement

An elderly family member wants to live independently, but family members still want to keep an eye on their health. To maintain their independence, elderly people often lie or mislead their family to keep them from worrying about their health and potentially moving them into a Nursing Home.

Proposed Solution

We propose a variety of passive sensors that generate data based on events. Using this data, we can determine trends and then monitor for abnormal behaviors (e.g. not drinking enough water for the day). When one of these abnormal behaviors occurs, we can alert the family member.
