Abstract

The recognition of sequences via non-intrusive appliance load monitoring has an important part to play for various applications in healthcare. In our work, we present a system for the detection of daily activities based on the use of appliances. The objective of our activity monitoring system is to maximize the time elder people can stay in their own domestic environment. We propose a system that is able to detect comparably complex activities that may be interrupted by other activities. In the experimental part of our work, a one-month and a half-year field study demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed approach.
