Project ELF@Home
The proposed service will automatically generate a personalized fitness program based on the health status and the continuous monitoring of activity level of the user. This continuous monitoring will be accomplished by the development of a new wearable activity sensor specially designed for elderly needs. The health status monitoring will be done using biomedical sensors. A TV interface and a computer vision system will be used during fitness sessions to analyse fitness exercises execution. All these components will be connected to a service platform implementing the intelligence needed. The system will be tested by two groups of users: users who will be supervised by professional gerontologists, and elderly people living in spare areas and with no previous experiences with elderly fitness. The first group will allow the validation of the proposed system in comparison with the current approaches. The second group will validate technology deployment and usability in an important potential market.
