Well-being Monitoring

The use of sensors, devices, and software systems to track and report on an individual's health and daily living indicators — such as mobility, sleep patterns, eating and drinking habits, personal hygiene, and medical conditions — typically within their home environment. Well-being monitoring systems are particularly important for older adults and people with disabilities who wish to maintain independent living, as they can detect changes in routine that may indicate health decline and alert carers or family members. These systems raise important accessibility considerations around interface design, data visualization, privacy, and ensuring that both the monitored individual and their carers can meaningfully interpret the information presented.
