A UBIQUITOUS SMART HOME FOR ELDERLY

Presented by, Vinaya.M.V Roll No:52 S7 CSE

INTRODUCTION
Home automation technologies in 1970s has paved way for smart home. In 1990s using technologies like ubiquitous computing/pervasive computing smart home projects started. mainly targeted on helping elderly or handicapped people

OUR SMART HOME SCENARIO

OBJECTIVES: To develop a monitoring and sensing system. To gather data and make it accessible.

PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE:

Smart home is equipped with both wireless and sensor technology. Sensors used are divided into two categories: Wearable sensors Sensors implanted in surrounding objects

Wearable Sensors
Pulse oximeter sensors: monitors the saturation of haemoglobin with oxygen ability to quickly detect hypoxemia Blood pressure sensors: It help diagnose hypertension and heart disease

Pressure sensors: used for bed monitoring

tracks the movement and position of residents inside home

Fig iv: Floor Pressure Sensors

Infrared Sensors: track the movement and position of residents inside home
used as a fall detection device

Vibration sensors: monitor residents movement Temperature sensors: monitor the household temperature changes
RFID systems: used to retrieve misplaced objects
11

Water flow monitoring sensors: monitor water used in a household The architecture also contains cameras and microphones.
Displays and speakers are installed throughout smart home.

ADVANTAGES
Provide care to patients within their home. For elderly people it helps to overcome the difficulties in life.

provide a successful aging in home

19

LIMITATIONS
Wearable sensors cause discomfort. Cost of intelligence Technology learning curve

Other kind of sensors like motion sensors have limited reliability.

CONCLUSION
The proposed design represents a good approach to research in smart home environments for elderly. Work is also ongoing in making the smart home design context-aware.
