Abstract:

Smartwatches open up new possibilities for supporting elderly people to stay in their familiar home as long as possible in a safe and self-determined way, even in the presence of MCI and/or beginning dementia. A new approach for preventing dehydration of elderly is presented, utilizing sensor information patterns derived from the movement analysis acquired by a smartwatch to detect liquid ingestion.
