• Abstract: With an increasing number of elders living alone, care-giving from a distance becomes a compelling need, particularly for safety. Real-time monitoring and action recognition are essential to raise an alert timely when abnormal behaviors or unusual activities occur. While wearable sensors are widely recognized as a promising solution, highly depending on user's ability and willingness makes them inefficient. In contrast, video streams collected through non-contact optical cameras provide richer information and release the burden on elders. In this paper, leveraging the Independently-Recurrent neural Network (IndRNN) we propose a novel Real-time Elderly Monitoring for senior Safety (REMS) based on lightweight human action recognition (HAR) technology. Using captured skeleton images, the REMS scheme is able to recognize abnormal behaviors or actions and preserve the user's privacy. To achieve high accuracy, the HAR module is trained and fine-tuned using multiple databases. An extensive experimental study verified that REMS system performs action recognition accurately and timely. REMS meets the design goals as a privacy-preserving elderly safety monitoring system and possesses the potential to be adopted in various smart monitoring systems.

  Existing monitoring approaches were designed on the premise that medical devices track several health metrics concurrently. This means that they report all relevant health values within that scope, which can result in excess resource use and the gathering of extraneous data. We propose Dynamic Activity-Aware Health Monitoring strategy (DActAHM) for striking a balance between optimal monitoring performance and cost efficiency.
