Assisting elderly and disabled people

WHY

5

The Ageing Problem…

Why

By 2020, around 25% of the EU population will be over 65

People aged from 65-80 will rise by nearly 40% between 2010-2030

From 2012, the over-60 population will increase by about 2 million people a year

The median age of the EU population increased from 35.2 years in 1990, to 40.9 years by 2010

IT IS URGENT TO PROMOTE ACTIVE AGEING THROUGH ICT SOLUTIONS

6

TBI as cause of mortality and disability…

Why

Every year 10 million people worldwide are affected

An average in-hospital fatality rate of 3% has been measured

Over 200 per 100000 individuals are admitted to European hospitals each year

Annually 1.7 million TBI’s occur in the US either in isolation or alongside other injuries

IT IS URGENT TO SUPPORT PEOPLE WIHT COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT THROUHG ICT SOLUTIONS

7

How to better live alone at home…

Why

People need to be independent to live better

Elderly people feel more safe living at their home

People need to return to their previous life roles

The long term rehabilitation goal for individuals with an TBI is resettlement back in thecommunity away from institutional care

IT IS URGENT TO ASSIST PEOPLE LIVING ALONE THROUGH ICT SOLUTIONS

8

Our Mission

Why

To help and support people that need assistance –elderly or disabled – at home

To give a feedback to therapists, caregivers, and relatives about the evolution of the status, behaviour and habits of each monitored user

Intelligent Monitoring

24

How

Intelligent Monitoring

PP Its goal is to preprocess the data iteratively sending

a chunk c to both ED and RE according to a sliding window approach

Starting from the overall data streaming, the system sequentially considers a range of time |ti - ti+1| between a sensor measure si at time ti and the subsequent measure si+1 at time ti+1

The output of PP is a window c from ts to ta, where ts is the starting time of a given period and ta is the actual time

25

How

Intelligent Monitoring

ED It aims to detect and inform about emergency

situations for the end-users and about sensor-based system critical failures

Regarding the critical situations for the end-users, simple rules are defined and implemented to raise an emergency, when specific values appear on c

Regarding the system failures, ED is able to detect whenever user’s home is disconnected from the middleware as well as when a malfunctioning of a sensor occurs

Each emergency is a pair <si; lei> composed of the sensor measure si and the corresponding label lei that indicates the corresponding emergency

26

How

Intelligent Monitoring

AR Its goal is to recognize

activities performed by the user

To recognize if the user is at home or away and if s/he is alone, we implemented a solution based on machine learning techniques

The output is a triple <ts; te; l>

27

How

Intelligent Monitoring

EN It is able to detect events to be notified Each event is defined by a pair <ti; l> corresponding

to the time ti in which the event happens together with a label l that indicates the kind of event

Currently, this module is able to detect the following events: o leaving the homeo going back to homeo receiving a visito remaining alone after a visito going to the bathroomo going out of the bathroomo going to sleepo awaking from sleep

28

How

Intelligent Monitoring

SC Once all the activities and events have been

classified, measures aimed at representing the summary of the user’s monitoring during a given period are performed

Two kinds of summary are providedo Historicalo Actual

A QoL assessment system is also provided to assess a specific QoL itemso Mobilityo Sleepingo Mood

29

How

Intelligent Monitoring

RE It is aimed at executing one or more rules at runtime

according to the sequence of sensor measures coming from the PP as well as the summary provided by the SC

A rule is a quadruple <i; v; o; ar>

The BackHome project

WHERE

FP7/2007-2013grant agreement n. 288566

47

The Project BackHome is the first European research project

aimed at delivering the ambitious, but critical, step to bring BNCI systems to mainstream markets

The Objectives To study the transition from the

hospital to the home To learn how different BNCIs and

other assistive technologies work together

To reduce the cost and hassle of the transition from the hospital to the home

Where

48

BackHome is aimed at… …producing applied results, developing

o new and better integrated practical electrode systems

o friendlier and more flexible BNCI softwareo better telemonitoring and home support tools

Where

49

Practical electrode systems

Its design is completely different from all other devices and it sets a new standard of usability

The dry electrode version is based on the worldwide proven g.SAHARA electrodes

The tiny and lightweight device is attached to the EEG cap to avoid cable movements and to allow completely free movements

61

Closing Remarks

The End

62

The proposed solution provides An no-intrusive sensor-based system installed at

user’s home An intelligent system that mines data to study

habits and quality-of-life of monitored users A web application for therapists and caregivers to

stay aware about the user status, condition, habits and quality-of-life

The overall approach has been fully integrated in the overall BackHome system
