Wellness Protocol for Smart Homes

<p>This book focuses on the development of wellness protocols for smart home monitoring aiming to forecast the wellness of individuals living in ambient assisted living (AAL) environments. It describes in detail the design and implementation of heterogeneous wireless sensors and networks as applied to data mining and machine learning which the protocols are based on. Further it shows how these sensor and actuator nodes are deployed in the home environment generating real-time data on object usage and other movements inside the home and therefore demonstrates that the protocols have proven to offer a reliable efficient flexible and economical solution for smart home systems. </p>Documenting the approach from sensor to decision making and information generation the book addresses various issues concerning interference mitigation errors security and large data handling. As such it offers a valuable resource for researchers students and practitioners interested in interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of wireless sensing processing radio communication the Internet of Things and machine learning and in how they can be applied to smart home monitoring and assisted living environments.
