Healthy Computing Workshop 19 th May 2010
Sensors – many different types Hub – sensors connect to (wireless/wired) Software Application – displays the sensor data to carers Care team that respond to alerts
Environmental Monitoring Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) Carbon Monoxide Temperature Safety and Security Intercom Pull Cord Bed/Chair occupancy Worn Devices Neck Pendent Automatic Fall Sensor Wrist watch with built in alarm
To keep up to date with sensor technology To build up a network of sensors Conduct experiments with the sensors To produce data from these sensors that can be analysed and reviewed
Build a complete telecare system Improve existing technology Develop new technology for telecare Advance the current sensors
