ABSTRACT
A research and development innovation project partly funded by the French company EDF was conducted for the advancement of smart homes. The aim is to help elderly to live at home in safe conditions. The experiments were carried out in a long-term setting in Orléans (France). As part of the project, the monitoring system aims to assess daily activity habits or lifestyle at home (fall, restlessness, fainting, running away....) through individual mobility data collection and analysis. This paper describes the architecture of the multisensor monitoring system used to collect individual mobility data, and presents the software used to assess the daily activity habits or lifestyle. Some preliminary results are given.
