Abstract

There has been a lot of research interest in research smart homes for behaviour recognition and related tasks supporting the elderly living alone. Amongst the many challenges of such research are the selection of sensors and the secure storage of data. However, there are other important issues such as reliable data collection, acceptance of sensor systems into the inhabitant's life, and ensuring that the sensor system does not create hazards in the house.In this paper we report on our experiences retrofitting a set of wireless sensors into the house of an elderly person living alone and an exploration of some of the data integrity issues faced.
