  • Abstract
    To help keep seniors in their homes while maximizing the goal of remote monitoring relentlessly, we opted for a remote monitoring system based around a so-called smart camera and a wireless transmission system between the patient´s place of residence and a center for medical expertise. Incorporating the largest possible part of image and signal analysis necessary for the application of remote surveillance, this camera that combines the use of multiple algorithms and multiple detectors is able to improve scenarios of early detection and response. Note that very few cameras and surveillance systems currently available on the market have the actual characteristics of intelligence and flexibility needed to support the important mission to monitor our health. This system consists of the first phase implementation of a camera that has the characteristic to transmit only relevant information. This implies that without streaming images, it detects all the signals (sounds, videos and even temperatures) in a defined space, record them, processes, analyzes it and decides for itself whether it should give an alarm when necessary through a system of wireless transmission.
