DIGITAL ASSURANCE METHOD AND SYSTEM TO EXTEND IN-HOME LIVING
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating living in a predetermined location for an individual, said system comprising:
- an integrated portfolio of at least one of active and passive sensors for monitoring activities of the individual;
an analyzing system for synthesizing and analyzing signals from said sensors for thereby assessing a status of the individual and inferring the individual'"'"'s at least one of state, status and quality of life;
a decision making system for generating an output based upon said assessment; and
an activation system for one of validation and activating processes to respond to said output from said decision making system.

Abstract
A system and method for facilitating in-home living by monitoring and analyzing in-home activities, and thereby implementing services for facilitating such living. The system includes an integrated portfolio of active and/or passive sensors for monitoring activities of an individual, and an analyzing system for synthesizing and analyzing signals from the sensors for thereby assessing a status of the individual and inferring the individual'"'"'s quality of life. The system further includes a decision making system for generating an output based upon the assessment, and an activation system for activating processes to respond to the decision making.
