Area of Science:

Gerontology
Biomedical Engineering
Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Background:

Growing elderly population living alone necessitates innovative healthcare solutions.
Independent living for seniors requires robust monitoring to ensure safety and timely intervention.
Current healthcare systems face challenges in efficiently monitoring elderly individuals at home.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an automated behavior analysis system for elderly individuals living alone.
To enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of home healthcare for seniors.
To utilize infrared (IR) motion sensors and advanced algorithms for abnormal behavior detection.

Main Methods:

Installation of an IR motion-sensor-based activity-monitoring system in elderly subjects' homes.
Calculation of feature values: activity level, mobility level, and nonresponse interval (NRI) from motion signals.
Application of Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) for classifying normal and detecting abnormal behavior patterns.

Main Results:

The system achieved high accuracy in detecting abnormal behavior patterns.
Positive Predictive Value (PPV) reached 95.8% for simulation data and 90.5% for real data.
Optimized parameter selection for SVDD demonstrated robustness for daily behavior pattern analysis over 24 hours.

Conclusions:

The developed IR motion sensor monitoring system with SVDD is an effective tool for home healthcare.
The system supports independent living for the elderly by enabling early detection of potential health issues.
This technology offers a promising solution for improving the quality of care for seniors living alone.
