Abstract

The demographic evolution of most western developed countries show a progressive increase on population aged 65 and older. One of the consequences of this gradual ageing is the rise of expensive age-related disabilities. Elder dementia patients often get lost due to temporary lack of a sense of direction. This may put them at risk and cause their families much worry. Our project aims to provide mobility monitoring support for fast location and help in case of loss caused by elder temporary mental disabilities.
