Abstract

An increase in the elderly population, particularly those living alone, coupled with caregiver shortages, has propelled advancements in Ambient Assisted Living. A recent trend in indirect monitoring methods utilizes smart meters and Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring to track the daily activities of the elderly. By analyzing smart meter data, these algorithms can pinpoint device-specific power usage, which serves as direct indicators of daily routines and well-being. Numerous studies have employed these methods to evaluate human activity and detect anomalies in daily behaviors.
