Abstract
Lifestyle monitoring forms a subset of telecare in
which data derived from sensors located in the home is used to
identify variations in behaviour which are indicative of a change
in care needs. Key to this is the performance of the sensors
themselves and the way in which the information from multiple
sources is integrated within the decision making process. The
paper therefore considers the functions of the key sensors
currently deployed and places their operation within the context
of a proposed multi-level system structure which takes due
cognisance of the requisite informatics framework.
