SAM3 Expertise Areas: Activity of Daily Living Assessment

The assessment of Activity of Daily Living covers a wide range of uses cases from assessment of basic activities or daily living that includes dressing, hygiene and nutrition through to activities that require higher and higher levels of cognitive and physical function such as driving, preparing a complex meal and others. The assessment of these through remote and smart home systems in an emerging application area that SAM3 researchers are actively exploring.

ADL Application Expertise

  • Sound based assessment
  • Supportive Smart home systems to detect and assist
  • Driving and vehicle operation
  • Assessment of water use (Nutrition and Hygiene)
  • Bed sensing for sleep patterns (Nocturia, wandering)
  • Smell sensing for food spoilage
