Abstract
People suffering from dementia or loss of brain cognitive ability due to aging can make a judgmental error and therefore have to be constantly monitored. In this paper we present a smart-carpet that employs sensing technology to automatically and unobtrusively monitor a person, detect fall and alert the caregiver by his phone or PC. In contrast to existing solutions our design is effective yet inexpensive, easy to install and maintain. We discuss the proposed design, present its prototype implementation and results of empirical evaluation. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.
