and features of smart homes
Riyad A Alshaqi
Prince Sultan Military Medical City, Saudi Arabia
In recent years, elderly patients Who suffers from
Alzheimer`s disease face challenges to live alone safely in
their own homes. Their personal care worries their relatives
in case being alone in their homes. Also, the cost for care in
nursing homes or hospitals is high and increases if care is
mobilized to their own homes, while being not favoured in
Saudi Arabian culture. This makes it necessary to create smart
houses for patients to support them live an independent life
in their own homes with their behaviour being constantly
monitored and assisted by an intelligent artificial system to
provide assessment and necessary assistance when needed,
while being linked to relatives or care providers. For this
reason, this poster aims to: a) Identify from previous studies
common activities performed by Alzheimer’s patients
to define patterns of daily living in the context of Saudi
Arabian. b) The overall project system structure and design.
C) Identify types of personal and environmental sensors and
use for independent living and Provide a generic framework
implement intelligent homes for Alzheimer's patient.
