”Casattenta” (Aware home, in Italian) is the demonstrator of a research project on ”Ambient Intelligence”, “Sensor Fusion” and “Wireless Sensor Networks”. The result is a system composed of fixed and wearable sensor nodes, providing elderly people living alone in their house (but also persons in other situations and environments) with adequate and non intrusive monitoring in order to improve the quality of their life. The system consists of fixed smart sensors distributed in the environment and wearable ones monitoring inhabitants health and activity. The interaction between fixed and mobile nodes, based on the ZigBee wireless protocol, allows indoor tracking and identification of dangerous events.

Abstract
”Casattenta” (Aware home, in Italian) is the demonstrator of a research project on ”Ambient Intelligence”, “Sensor Fusion” and “Wireless Sensor Networks”. The result is a system composed of fixed and wearable sensor nodes, providing elderly people living alone in their house (but also persons in other situations and environments) with adequate and non intrusive monitoring in order to improve the quality of their life. The system consists of fixed smart sensors distributed in the environment and wearable ones monitoring inhabitants health and activity. The interaction between fixed and mobile nodes, based on the ZigBee wireless protocol, allows indoor tracking and identification of dangerous events.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
