Embodiment Construction

[0024] refer to figure 1 , shows activity monitoring system 10 including activity sensor 14 , communication relay board 18 and remote monitoring center 22 . The activity monitoring system 10 does not interfere with the mechanisms of the dwelling 12 or any of the subsystems of the dwelling 12 (electrical, water, light, etc.). Intervention of the residence 12, if any, can be accomplished by communicating with the occupants of the residence 12 from outside the residence, such as by telephone call or visit by a caregiver 38 or other suitable personnel such as an emergency response professional. Sensors 14 include surveillance sensors, door sensors, and any other sensors suitable for collecting and transmitting data about ongoing activity in dwelling 12 . Other suitable sensors 14 include hazard sensors and safety sensors. Preferably, the sensor 14 is a wireless sensor capable of wirelessly sending a signal 16 containing collected data to the communication relay board 18 . It sh...

Abstract

A system and method for monitoring the activities of a resident living independently. Activity sensors distributed around the home collect data on activity in the home. The data is communicated to a remote monitoring center and analyzed. The data is buffered to ascertain whether an event or important transition has occurred in the home. The system also may be utilized to ascertain long-term mobility changes in the resident, deviations from normal sleep patterns, and deviations from a normal wake up time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a system and method for monitoring dwelling activity of a person living alone, and more particularly to a system and method for remotely monitoring dwelling activity of an elderly or disabled person living alone. Background technique [0002] With the development of medicine and increasing attention to proper nutrition and adequate exercise, the life expectancy of the population in Western societies is increasing. For example, the number of older adults living in the United States is increasing and will increase significantly in the coming decades as the baby boomer generation ages. Additionally, increased awareness and understanding of various mental and physical disabilities has resulted in people with reduced mental and / or physical abilities increasingly living alone. [0003] As the number of elderly and disabled persons living alone increases, there are concerns about the safety and security of these eld...
