Abstract

Estimates suggest that up to 20% of adults over age 70 years may have Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI, cognitive changes without dementia) [1]. Such individuals may be able to function more effectively in their environment with some supportive services. Embedded automated systems could help provide additional protection from accidental injury and support for executing daily activities for individuals with MCI. In this paper, illustration of a home monitoring embedded system to increase safety and functionality to those with cognitive disabilities is provided. A proof-of-concept implementation of an automated garage door monitoring system that can monitor the open/closed status of the garage door, but also monitor other environmental variables has been developed in this investigation. The obtained sensor data is then used to execute particular macros, per situation, and react accordingly in order to circumvent injury and improve daily functioning of patients with mild cognitive impairment.
