Abstract

This paper presents a multi-modal health and activity monitoring framework that enables abnormal event detection and long term evaluation of the health of elderly people at home. We describe its integration with the ESTIA [1] Residential Gateway and detail the demonstration scenario we developed involving different kinds of sensing modules.
