METHOD FOR MONITORING AN ACTIVITY OF A COGNITIVELY IMPAIRED USER AND DEVICE THEREFORE
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring an activity of a cognitively impaired user using a device having a body resting on a plurality of support areas and loadable by the cognitively impaired user, the method comprising:
- measuring a plurality of force values exerted by a weight of a load to corresponding ones of the support areas;
obtaining a state of an activity of the cognitively impaired user based on the measured values; and
generating a signal indicative of the state of the activity.

Abstract
The method for monitoring an activity of a cognitively impaired user using a device having a body resting on a plurality of support areas and loadable by the cognitively impaired user, generally comprises the step of measuring a plurality of force values exerted by a weight of a load to corresponding ones of the support areas; the step of obtaining a state of an activity of the cognitively impaired user based on the measured values; and the step of generating a signal indicative of the state of the activity. The state of the activity typically can be a given step in a recipe to be cooked on a smart stove in order to assist a cognitively impaired person in the completion of a cooking activity.

14. A device for monitoring an activity of a cognitively impaired user, the device comprising:
-
a body resting on a plurality of support areas and loadable by the cognitively impaired user; and at least three force sensors adapted to measure force values applied by the loaded body to corresponding ones of the plurality of support areas, each force sensor being horizontally spaced from a center of gravity of the device and horizontally spaced from one another. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
