IEEE Ottawa EMBS - Pervasive Healthcare Through Human-Centered Sensing
The past decade has witnessed the surge of interest in daily activity monitoring. Human-centered sensing attempts to have a comprehensive assessment of people’s living habits and health condition. Several applications could benefit from the advanced human sensing systems including elder caring in smart hospitals and homes. In this talk, I will focus on necessity of human-centered sensing and more specifically on the use of remote sensing in health care to monitor the elderly’s living alone or in nursing houses for fall incident detection.
