Abstract:
Various device validation methodologies for activity monitoring are growing in number, but the information about the regulation and rules of recognition for the software and hardware used with these devices is not presented. There are different characteristics that should be evaluated to prove the reliability of these devices, including different security and privacy parameters. The activity monitoring can be performed with mobile devices and other devices whose software versions are updated regularly. That is why these devices should be regulated, including the devices implemented in smart environments, containing the ones implemented in furniture, which are important for the monitoring of ageing people. The regulation of these devices and mobile applications has been discussed, but there are no specific rules. This study presents some possible methods for the regulation of mobile devices and applications for activity monitoring of ageing people, but it can be influenced by environmental conditions.
