Main activities
• Definition of a new concept: intelligent sensory furniture for the care of people, their safety and prevention in a geriatric centre environment.
• Development of a hardware infrastructure integrated in sensor and actuator furniture, which captures information about the elderly person and enables intelligent and automatic decision-making.
• Creation of a wireless communication structure for the sensors/actuators and the AmI system.
• Construction of a software middleware that creates a set of services for the correct management of the furniture, monitoring and control, offering intelligent and autonomous capabilities.
Expected results:
Implementation of sensor and actuator circuits with wireless communication.
Specific design and construction of different prototypes of intelligent furniture (beds, armchairs, tables…) with integrated electronic elements.
Complete ambient intelligence system validated in nursing homes.
