The study has the objective of monitoring person activity at home and detect possible person falls with passive infrared sensor units. The system is targeted to alert of any abnormal activity at home, such as falls, too long visits to the toilet, unplanned leaving of the building as well as some normal activities, such as wake-ups in the morning and persons' presence and movement. Non-visual monitoring system was selected in order to respect the person's privacy. Data collection and alerts are gathered by a web-based service. The alert service is able to send alerts using SMS or a web service – XML or e-mails.
