Activities of Daily Living Detection on Healthcare: A Categorization
José Manuel Negrete Ramírez, Yudith Cardinale · 2022
The incremental advancement of sensor technology has positively impacted the field of activities of daily living (ADL) recognition and monitoring in Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) environments. People in AAL environments interact by means of electronic devices (e.g., sensors, actuators, mobile phones, tablets, wearable technologies) to accomplish their ADL, which can be analysed to identify such as ADL and monitor the behaviour of inhabitants in AAL. In this paper, we present the trends on this area in the context of Pervasive Healthcare. To do so, we propose a categorization of ADL, along with the monitoring approaches based on sensing and context-awareness technologies. Moreover, we present an overview of evaluation models on the extent of performance of ADL.
