System and method for detecting activities of daily living of a person
First Claim
1. A system for non-intrusive monitoring of a person the system comprising:
- at least one ambient sensor arranged for measuring an ambient condition of said person;
a movement sensor arranged for detecting a movement of said person;
interpretation means arranged for;
interpreting a first output signal provided by the at least one ambient sensor and a second output signal provided by the movement sensor to determine an activity of daily living of said person, andproviding a timestamp to the first output signal of the at least one ambient sensor in dependence of a detected movement as indicated by the second output signal.

Abstract
The system according to the invention comprises a plurality of sensors (10), (20) arranged to measure an ambient condition of a person. A movement of the person is being detected by the movement sensor (20) included in the system. The system further comprises interpretation means (110) arranged for interpreting a plurality of first output signals (100) and a second output signal (200). The plurality of first output signals (100) is provided by the ambient sensors (10) and the second output signal (200) is provided by the movement sensor (20). The interpretation means (110) are further arranged to determine an activity of daily living of said person. The interpretation means may provide an alarm signal (120) indicating that the person may need direct assistance and a warning signal (130) indicating a potential deteriorating health condition of the person.
