An IoT enabled Unobtrusive Worker Health, Well-Being and Functional Ability Monitoring Framework

Maintaining a healthy workforce in an ever increasing and ageing population is of paramount importance in modern western societies. An age-friendly living and working environment is a huge challenge that has only recently started to be addressed as the number of older citizens who are, want or need to continue being active members of society and live independently, is constantly increasing. This paper introduces a system which aims at building a worker-centric Internet of Things enabled system for work ability sustainability, integrating unobtrusive sensing and modelling of the worker state with a suite of novel services for context and worker-aware adaptive work support.
