Safe@home - A wireless assistance system with integrated IEEE 802.15.4a localisation technology

The wireless assistance system safe@home builds a wireless sensor network which enables the localisation of a person wearing a tag and to collect the person's vital data. Furthermore it provides the opportunity to connect to home automation elements like EnOcean1 sensors and actuators. The goal to this project is to provide a system which can easily be installed into existing homes and therefore is low-priced, to allow elder people to live safely and independently in their own homes for as long as possible.
