Given that the share of elderly people in Europe continues to increase there will be a growing need for smart and secure monitoring systems in order to provide high quality elderly care without increasing costs by an effective use of caregiver resources. The (WP21) Assisted Living and Community Care System provides an integrated solution for monitoring patients or elderly, signaling alarms to available caregivers and allowing them to enter the house or apartment for giving care (only) when needed. An integrated ALCCS demonstrator for elderly monitoring and caregiver notification in case of emergency events was build and tested by various SCOTT partners. One of the sensors used for monitoring in this demonstrator is a presence sensor by Xetal/Yugen (see https://youtu.be/5rNn8zA25Dk for more information) that has been tested and matured with support from the SCOTT project and which is now ready for commercial application.
