Smart sensor network for continuous monitoring at home of elderly population with chronic diseases

The current paper proposes a smart sensor network based on femtocells to monitor patients with chronic diseases at their home. The main purpose of this network is to help elderly population with chronic diseases to spend less time in specialized institutions and reduce the costs significantly as certified employees will not be necessary.
