Abstract :
In this paper we are interested in home healthcare for dependent people. We propose the “Space Confusion Detection System” (SCDS) tool, which allows the detection of space confusion of people with Alzheimer disease. The system analyzes the patient´s movements and generates alarms when abnormal behaviors are detected.
