Abstract:
The importance of research on new technologies that could be employed in care services for elderly and disabled people is highlighted. The need to examine the applicability of various sensor systems for non-invasive monitoring of the movements and vital bodily functions, such as heart beat or breathing rhythm, of persons in their home environment is justified. An extensive overview of the literature, concerning existing monitoring techniques, is provided. A technological potential behind impulseradar sensors is indicated. New systemic and algorithmic solutions are proposed. Preliminary results of its investigation are presented.
