The present work has been developed from an accurate study on the Wearable Devices within the S.H.E.L.L. project (Secure Habitat for an Enhanced Long Living), led by the Department of Architecture in Genoa, which focuses on “Made in Italy” industrial innovation. The project seeks to create a new assistance system for mentally disabled people or people with reduced mobility (Stikic et al., PervasiveHealth 2008, Second International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare, 2008) [1] using S.H.E.L.L. Personal Kit: a Secure Habitat for an Enhanced Long Living Personal Kit, a series of environmental devices that should be stationary and easy to use and implement and a modular system. The aim is to turn them into mass products. The S.H.E.L.L. Personal Kit is made up of an smart wearable device, a tablet docking station and a series of environmental elements for localization and to receive/transmit data. The principal goal of the project is enhancing safety and autonomy for its users through automatic alarms, integrated in a wireless sensor net. The system can detect specific habits of the people that are being monitored, thus allowing them to move freely in their surroundings. It guarantees constant assistance by interacting in the case of an emergency and alerting family members or caretakers of any anomaly in the observed data.

Abstract

The present work has been developed from an accurate study on the Wearable Devices within the S.H.E.L.L. project (Secure Habitat for an Enhanced Long Living), led by the Department of Architecture in Genoa, which focuses on “Made in Italy” industrial innovation. The project seeks to create a new assistance system for mentally disabled people or people with reduced mobility (Stikic et al., PervasiveHealth 2008, Second International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare, 2008) [1] using S.H.E.L.L. Personal Kit: a Secure Habitat for an Enhanced Long Living Personal Kit, a series of environmental devices that should be stationary and easy to use and implement and a modular system. The aim is to turn them into mass products. The S.H.E.L.L. Personal Kit is made up of an smart wearable device, a tablet docking station and a series of environmental elements for localization and to receive/transmit data. The principal goal of the project is enhancing safety and autonomy for its users through automatic alarms, integrated in a wireless sensor net. The system can detect specific habits of the people that are being monitored, thus allowing them to move freely in their surroundings. It guarantees constant assistance by interacting in the case of an emergency and alerting family members or caretakers of any anomaly in the observed data.
