Description
Summary:This work proposes a system that allows estimating and monitoring daily routine changes in a sensorized home through Machine Learning and Affinity Propagation clustering techniques. Older adults often have low-activity and rather routine lives, which means that these routines can be an indicator of their physical and cognitive state in order to lead an independent life and healthy ageing. Therefore, it is important to be able to generate precise routines, as well as to monitor them, to trigger alarms in case of significant variations. This proposal defines routines based on the time spent in each of the monitored rooms. The daily time in each room is estimated trough a Bluetooth Low Energy-based indoor localization system. The localization is obtained through the Bluetooth received signal strength, which is processed with different supervised algorithms and fused with the acceleration measured by the mobile receiver, obtaining an accuracy above 96 %. From these data, the sample has been synthetically expanded to generate four different routines, on which the proposed algorithm based on Principal Component Analysis and Affinity Propagation clustering has been tested, obtaining very promising results.
