Falls are among the most frequent occasions happening on elderly. Moreover, falls can cause fatal effect on them. One of the issues related to elderly health, which can incur falls, is the gait characteristics. Thus, it will be useful to set up a monitoring system for home-use to detect the gait characteristics of the elderly. With this daily monitoring system, the changes in gait characteristics,...
Cognitive, motor and perceptual processes diminish with age and thus limit adaptive capabilities of older individuals. Our hypothesis is that with aging there is decreased expression of these proactive adaptive capabilities. These experiments were designed to test this hypothesis by implementing an integrated approach to quantifying physiological characteristics in older individuals. We are working...
Movement in bed-placed pressure arrays often interferes with measurements. A method for automatically determining movement onset times from a bed-based pressure sensor array is proposed. By using control levels based on a moving average and the moving variance, the method can adapt to changing positions and postures of the bed occupant. A simulation was performed on a generated 24-hour pressure signal...
