Monitoring Activities of Daily Living in Smart Homes: Understanding human behavior

Monitoring the activities of daily living (ADLs) and detection of deviations from previous patterns is crucial to assessing the ability of an elderly person to live independently in their community and in early detection of upcoming critical situations. "Aging in place" for an elderly person is one key element in ambient assisted living (AAL) technologies.
