The BESIDE project aims to develop an ICT-based system for monitoring elderly people having neurodegenerative diseases such as the Alzheimer's disease or dementia, while living at home or at residential care settings. Constant monitoring of the behavioral status of patients in order to provide objective observations about the progression of the disease. Constant surveying of patients in order to prevent falls or escapes. Augmented Medical Record (support Medical Staff and/or Relatives) Warning caregivers or specialized personnel about particular events such as dangerous situations, falls or escapes. Integration of a multiplicity of sensors for scene interpretation; gesture/activity recognition; behavior analysis; sleep monitoring; fall prevention; escape prevention/detection.
Il progetto BESIDE mira a sviluppare un sistema ICT innovativo per monitorare le persone anziane affette da malattie neurodegenerative come il morbo di Alzheimer o la demenza senile, mentre vivono a casa o in strutture residenziali. I principali obiettivi del progetto sono: Monitoraggio costante dello stato comportamentale dei pazienti al fine di fornire osservazioni oggettive sulla progressione della malattia. Monitoraggio costante dei pazienti al fine di prevenire cadute o fughe. Sviluppo di una cartella medica aumentata Attenzione ai caregivers o al personale specializzato su eventi particolari come situazioni pericolose, cadute o fughe. Integrazione di una molteplicità di sensori per l'interpretazione della scena; riconoscimento di gesti/attività; analisi del comportamento; monitoraggio del sonno; prevenzione delle cadute e delle evasioni.
