In an ageing society, the elderly can be monitored with numerous physiological, physical and passive devices. Sensors can be installed in the home for continuous mobility assistance and unobtrusive disease prevention. This review presents several modern sensors, which improve the quality of life and assist the elderly, disabled people and their caregivers. The main concept of geriatric sensors is that they are capable of providing assistance without limiting or disturbing the subject's daily…

Sensors on My Bed: The Ups and Downs of In-Home Monitoring
TLDR
Preliminary findings of initial reactions to the technology and contributions made by prospective residents at pre-pilot workshops are provided, finding participants favoured system flexibility and enhanced family communication and that undesirable aspects could be circumvented or solved by researchers.
Seamless Monitoring of Physiological Information in Daily Life: Retrospectives and Perspectives
TLDR
It is envisioned that the home will be transformed into an intelligent hub for lifelong healthcare through seamless monitoring of the human body in the daily life environment, which will foster the development of a new discipline “Metrology of Health” or “Healthology” based on a holistic view of health.
Distributed Computing and Monitoring Technologies for Older Patients
TLDR
This book summarizes various approaches for the automatic detection of health threats to older patients at home living alone and identifies the state of the art of technological monitoring approaches that are practically applicable to geriatric patients.
Preliminary study of unobtrusive monitoring to increase safety in daily living
TLDR
An unobtrusive system for monitoring the activities of daily living was developed to improve safety and quality of life and might be effective for promoting health in the home.
Unobtrusive and comprehensive health screening using an intelligent toilet system
TLDR
An “intelligent toilet” performs an extensive health check while being as simple to use as a conventional toilet, to support the treatment of diabetes and chronic heart failure.

Monitoring daily living activities of elderly people in a nursing home using an infrared motion-detection system.
TLDR
The pattern of daily indoor living activities and the duration of each class of activity was identified using sensor outputs and a questionnaire and days were assumed to be atypical when sensor outputs deviated from the normal pattern.
A Health Monitoring System for Elderly People Living Alone
TLDR
A health monitoring system for elderly people living alone by placing infrared sensors in each room of their homes that reduced anxiety for both the elderly subjects living alone and their family members.
Flexible technologies and smart clothing for citizen medicine, home healthcare, and disease prevention
TLDR
Smart sensors and smart clothes with noninvasive sensors are an attractive solution for home-based and ambulatory health monitoring and wearable devices or smart homes with exosensors are also potential solutions.
