You are in: home > CONFIDENCE for elderly
This project has built a care system for the detection
of abnormal events (such as falls) or unexpected behaviours that
may be related to a health problem in elderly people.
Nowadays, most of the care systems in the market are limited to
detect falls. The innovation of the system developed in the
CONFIDENCE project is that it will not only detect falls, but
also identify short and long term unexpected behaviours that
could indicate health problems.
Thanks to these features, the elderly people gain the
confidence and independence. is a non-intrusive and
reliable system that increases the quality of life and
security of the elderly and, thus, prolong their personal
autonomy and participation in society. Not only can the elderly
profit from the system, but also their families and caregivers,
since the burden on them will be substantially reduced.
aims to decrease the
need of institutionalisation of the elderly.
Information about the user’s location, together with some
environment information, will be analysed to decide whether to
trigger an alarm. The system will be easy to use
and will not constrain the user’s daily life. The user will keep
control of the system and can customise the alarm protocol.
In case of an abnormal situation such as a fall or an accident, permits a rapid
actuation of the health services, which decreases the
negative consequences of the accident (worsening of injuries,
psychological impact of being alone and injured, etc…)
