Smart-Home Monitoring

"During the study, various sensors will be employed to capture participant interactions with appliances and furniture. These sensors may include:~Interaction Sensors: These sensors are designed to recognize users' interactions with appliances and furniture within the smart environment.~Smart Biomechanics Devices: Devices such as a Fitbit device an internet of Things grip Dynamometer will be utilized to assess physical balance and strength.~Positioning System using Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) Technology: This positioning system leverages UWB technology, enabling furniture-level accuracies in interpreting self-care activities.~As participants engage with different elements of the smart environment, these sensors will collect data. Additionally, participants will be recorded via video to further enhance the observational data captured during the study."
