Existing surveillance systems for older people activity analysis are focused on video and sensors analysis (e.g., accelerometers, pressure, infrared) applied for frailty assessment, fall detection, and the automatic identification of self-maintenance activities (e.g., dressing, self-feeding) at home. This paper proposes a multi-sensor...

This paper proposes BEHAVE, a person-centered pipeline for probabilistic event recognition. The proposed pipeline firstly detects the set of people in a video frame, then it searches for correspondences between people in the current and previous frames (i.e., people tracking). Finally, event recognition is carried for each person using...

Methods for action recognition have evolved considerably over the past years and can now automatically learn and recognize short term actions with satisfactory accuracy. Nonetheless, the recognition of complex activities-compositions of actions and scene objects-is still an open problem due to the complex temporal and composite structure of...

15.s.875.00 Purpose: world population is aging and the number of seniors in need of care is expected to surpass the number of young people capable of providing it. It is then quintessential to develop instruments to support doctors at the task of diagnosing and monitoring the health status of seniors 1-3. Methods to assess autonomy and...

Population aging has been motivating academic research and industry to develop technologies for the improvement of older people's quality of life, medical diagnosis, and support on frailty cases. Most of available research prototypes for older people monitoring focus on fall detection or gait analysis and rely on wearable, environmental, or...

Purpose: The number of people requiring care, including Alzheimer patients, will grow while the number of people able to provide care will decrease. We focus on the development of medical, information and communication technologies for improved diagnosis and evaluation of dementia progression in early-stage Alzheimer disease (AD) patients....

Purpose: Older people population is expected to grow dramatically over the next 20 years (including Alzheimer's patients), while the number of people able to provide care will decrease. We present the development of medical and information and communication technologies to support the diagnosis and evaluation of dementia progress in early stage...

Over the last few years, the use of new technologies for the support of elderly people and in particular dementia patients received increasing interest. We investigated the use of a video monitoring system for automatic event recognition for the assessment of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) in dementia patients. Participants (19...

Currently, the assessment of autonomy and functional ability involves clinical rating scales. However, scales are often limited in their ability to provide objective and sensitive information. By contrast, information and communication technologies may overcome these limitations by capturing more fully the functional as well as cognitive...

The use of Serious Games (SG) in the health domain is expanding. In the field of neurodegenerative disorders (ND) such as Alzheimer's disease, SG are currently employed both to support and improve the assessment of different functional and cognitive abilities, and to provide alternative solutions for patients'...
