Wellness Assessment of Alzheimer's Patients in an Instrumented Health-Care Facility.


ABSTRACT: Wellness assessment refers to the evaluation of physical, mental, and social well-being. This work explores the possibility of applying technological tools to assist clinicians and professionals to improve the quality of life of people through continuous monitoring of their wellness. The contribution of this paper is manifold: a coarse-grained localization system is responsible for monitoring and collecting data related to patients, while a novel wellness assessment methodology is proposed to extract quantitative indicators related to the well-being of patients from the collected data. The proposed system has been installed at "Il Paese Ritrovato", an innovative health-care facility for Alzheimer's in Monza, Italy; first satisfactory results have been obtained, and the dataset shows great potential for several applications.
