Abstract

The MediaCup is an ordinary coffee cup augmented with sensing, processing and communication capabilities, to collect and communicate general context information in a given environment. In this project, coffee cups are computerized to integrate them and the information they hold--where the cup is, how it is handled, and whether it's hot or cold--as context into surrounding information ecologies.

Sensor based micro context for mild dementia assistance
PETRA '10: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments

Due to decline in their cognitive function, elderly people with mild dementia living alone at home are at risk of making errors in their activities of daily living (ADLs). In order to help such people, most activity recognition systems for assistive ...
Elderly daily activity habits or lifestyle in their natural environments
PETRA '11: Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments

A research and development innovation project partly funded by the French company EDF was conducted for the advancement of smart homes. The aim is to help elderly to live at home in safe conditions. The experiments were carried out in a long-term ...
Elderly Assistance Using Wearable Sensors by Detecting Fall and Recognizing Fall Patterns
UbiComp '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM International Joint Conference and 2018 International Symposium on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Wearable Computers

Falling is a serious threat to the elderly people. One severe fall can cause hazardous problems like bone fracture or may lead to some permanent disability or even death. Thus, it has become the need of the hour to continuously monitor the activities of ...
