Smart E-Health Home Supervision Systems
2021
Supervisory systems have become interesting solutions for monitoring the health of home-based people. Frail older people are at high risk of becoming dependent if they are not cared for quickly. Embedded devices at home or on the person are two possible options which, when coupled, allow a more precise knowledge of behaviors and a faster triggering of the alert. The idea still applied is to model the person’s activities or health parameters in a continuous and automated way to detect deviations from the usual behavior. This clinico-technical approach has been developed and tested in different places and by several research teams with a real medical interest in having a longitudinal knowledge of a patient’s behavior. However, prevention and follow-up of home prescriptions must go beyond the purely technological and medical aspects and take economical and organizational dimensions into account. We consider that three types of complementary actions must be implemented: a fundamental action on the scientific and technological level to know how to build, from the data collected, “a profile of user activity;” detecting, in real time, all kinds of deviations from the normal pattern; training and ground demonstrations actions.
