Corridor Sensor Arrays for Dementia Group Home

This paper describes a trial detection system to monitor the behavior of patients walking along the corridor of a group home for dementia patients. Generally, we do not install video cameras, in order to protect the privacy of the residents. We have developed a simple linear array sensor to detect the behavior of a person walking along the corridor. We have deployed these linear array sensors at a group home where 27 patients are living together. This paper provides an explanation on the sensors and the entire information system.
