Abstract:
This work presents the HealthSonar, a novel unobtrusive, privacy-focused, health monitoring system for elders and patients with movement disorders, capable of tracking the quality of their sleep, identifying sleep apnea events, evaluating their mobility and detecting falls. The system comprises a impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) radar-based device, a web portal, a web dashboard and a mobile application. Due to its nature, HealthSonar is perfectly suited for care homes, and generally for clinical environments, where residents are in need of continuous monitoring, especially during their sleep, as well as during their presence in hazardous rooms, such as bathrooms.
