    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Ubiquitous Computing
    • Health Informatics

    Background:

    • Monitoring the living space of elderly individuals living alone is crucial for assessing their well-being and independence.
    • Existing methods may raise privacy concerns or be burdensome for participants.
    • There is a need for unobtrusive and privacy-preserving technologies to track daily activities and living spaces.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To verify the feasibility of a novel system for measuring the living space of elderly people living alone.
    • To assess the system's ability to monitor both indoor and outdoor activities unobtrusively.
    • To lay the groundwork for future research correlating living space with health and functional status.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a combination of indoor motion detection sensors and a smartwatch with Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking.
    • Participants lived their daily lives for 8 weeks with the system installed and devices provided.
    • Indoor sensors recorded movement and specific activities (e.g., sleeping, using the toilet).
    • Smartwatch GPS tracked outdoor movements and defined living spaces.

    Main Results:

    • The system successfully collected data on indoor and outdoor activities over an 8-week period.
    • Motion sensors and GPS provided insights into the daily routines and spatial behavior of elderly individuals.
    • The privacy-preserving approach using human-detection techniques appeared to enhance participant adherence.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed system is feasible for measuring the living space and daily activities of older adults living alone.
    • This technology offers a low-risk, privacy-preserving method for monitoring community-dwelling seniors.
    • The system has the potential to inform future studies on the relationship between living space, health, and daily functioning in the elderly.
