　　内容简介：

  The use of technologies for health care and assisted living has attracted considerable interest in recent years. An urgent need for this technology development is for elderly care, due to the aging population in the world and the significant financial burden. A number of commercial products are available for health monitoring. The wearable nature of these devices, however, presents difficulty and discomfort to the elderly. This talk introduces the research on two low-cost, non-invasive and non-wearable sensors together with the sensor data processing techniques for eldercare that are suitable for use in an in-home environment. One is the radar that is effective for gait monitoring and fall detection. The other is the bed sensor that is capable of heart rate tracking and relative blood pressure monitoring. Time-frequency analysis together with machine learning approach are used for sensor data processing. Results under laboratory environment and senior residence apartment will be demonstrated.
