- Abstract:
- Aim of this paper is the design and implementation of a system for assisted living and home automation. The apparatus is able to both monitor vital signs of persons with medical problems and automate the home management. Concerning the home automation, the system can manage lighting, actuate the opening of doors and windows, schedule appliances, manage electrical loads, thermo regulators and video surveillance sensors. Hardware of proposed system is based on low-cost ARM processors. Important features of implemented application program are the real-time management of data transmission between the different system components, in order to control main home devices and generate alarm signals in case of vital functions outside the fixed ranges. Automation, monitoring and remote assistance are joined together to create a home environment of high security and prevention, to offer the user a high sense of security since his health status is continuously monitored.
