摘要：The work carried out in this paper aims to present a model based on elderlies daily activities to determinetheir wellness status. A wellness function is delineatedto estimate the health condition of the aged individuals while carrying outtheirday-to-day routine. The proposed model can also be used to monitor the mobilityparameters, such as entry and exit of a room and bed occupancy of an elderly. Simple sensors such as capacitive sensors are equipped into their homes to monitortheir behaviour and identify their daily activities via non-contact means.The device will allow extractingdaily behavioral patterns of the elderly person. Thusthe device will help in providing information to build behavioral model of the person which can foresee the anomalies in their behaviour.In case the elderly is distressed, an alarm can be sent to a receiver unit. Thecosteffectivenessof the device will ultimatelylower the total cost of wellnessmonitoring ofanelderlyperson. A prototype of the device can be fabricated and broadlytested for extracting preciseresults.
