Abstract

In this paper we propose a technological infrastructure for providing home assisted living support to mildly to medium mobility impaired users (particularly elderly people). The infrastructure includes an audio sensor network, a localization module and a behavioral analysis module. We also present a possible application scenario for our system and an overview of the components that integrate our system.
