Abstract :
Smart grid technology is emerging as a powerful method for managing home energy consumption and improving the efficiency of power delivery. Due to declining birth rates and advances in health care, the world population is aging and new technology can assist in care of elderly populations. Smart grid technology can be used to provide useful information on the activities of daily living and can be used to monitor both the short-term and long-term health of elderly individuals. This report outlines some experiments that demonstrate the concept.
