Tracking and Analyzing Daily Activities of Seniors Living in Messy Environments
Summary
In this article, we discuss a system developed by the speaker to track and analyze the daily activities of seniors living in messy environments. The system uses sensors to monitor tasks like taking medication, making coffee, and making phone calls. The data is wirelessly transmitted to a laptop and analyzed using cloud-based analytics to produce web-based graphs and real-time feedback displays. The system was tested in 14 homes and provided a tablet display for the seniors to see their performance scores. The display helped users to better understand how well they were performing these activities and improved medication adherence.

The System
The speaker describes a system they developed to track and analyze the daily activities of seniors living in messy environments. The system uses sensors to monitor tasks like taking medication, making coffee, and making phone calls. The data is wirelessly transmitted to a laptop and analyzed using cloud-based analytics to produce web-based graphs and real-time feedback displays. The system was tested in 14 homes and provided a tablet display for the seniors to see their performance scores.
Benefits of the Tablet Device
The speaker discusses the benefits of a tablet device that acts as a reminder system for the elderly to take their medication and also allows them to reflect on their behavior. The device helped improve their performance and medication adherence. The study also showed that real-time display of data was effective in shocking the elderly into realizing their poor performance, but the effect was short-lived.
Real-Time Display of Data
The real-time display of data was effective in shocking the elderly into realizing their poor performance, but the effect was short-lived. However, the technology can be used as an early assessment of cognitive decline and can provide valuable data for clinicians. By monitoring daily activities, the system can detect changes in behavior that may indicate cognitive decline.
Early Assessment of Cognitive Decline
The technology can be used as an early assessment of cognitive decline and can provide valuable data for clinicians. By monitoring daily activities, the system can detect changes in behavior that may indicate cognitive decline. Early detection of cognitive decline can lead to early intervention and better outcomes for seniors.
Value in a Physician’s Office
The speaker hopes to show the value of the technology in a physician’s office. The technology can provide valuable data for clinicians to monitor the daily activities of seniors and detect changes in behavior that may indicate cognitive decline. The system can also be used to monitor medication adherence and improve outcomes for seniors.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the system developed by the speaker to track and analyze the daily activities of seniors living in messy environments has shown promising results in improving medication adherence and providing valuable data for clinicians to monitor cognitive decline. The tablet device has also been shown to be effective in improving performance and medication adherence. The technology has the potential to improve outcomes for seniors and should be further explored in a physician’s office setting.
