Key result
The Eventlogger radio-based system successfully recognized simple activities of daily living in healthy probands, demonstrating readiness for use with patients in old age psychiatry.
Why the study?
Can the Eventlogger system accurately recognize simple activities of daily living in healthy probands?
Can the Eventlogger system accurately recognize simple activities of daily living in healthy probands?
The Eventlogger system is a viable monitoring tool for recognizing simple activities of daily living in elderly populations.
Readiness shown only in healthy volunteers; leaves open validation in old age psychiatry patients.
In this contribution the evaluation of a system called "Eventlogger" is presented, which is installed in a day hospital for old age psychiatry. The Eventlogger is a radio based module with an adjustable communication range, able to recognize interaction of the user with objects or with other people. It is intended to function as a monitoring tool for the users' activities. Due to the demographic change monitoring systems for elderly people become more important. In this paper the "simple activities of daily living" (sADL) is introduced as well as the evaluation for the recognition of sADL in a day hospital for old age psychiatry with healthy probands is presented. Together with the first approaches of post processing for better results it is shown that the system is now ready to be used with patients of the day hospital for old age psychiatry.
