Abstract

Many elderly persons prefer to stay alone in a single-resident house for seeking an independent life and reducing the cost of health care. However, the independent life cannot be maintained if the resident develops dementia. Thus, an early detection of dementia is essential for the elderly to extend their independent lifetime. One of the early symptoms of dementia is forgetting something when the person leaves the house. In this study, we introduce a novel front-door events (exit, enter, visitor, other, and brief-return-and-exit (BRE)) and their classification scheme that validated by using open datasets (n = 10) collected from ten single-resident testbeds by anonymous binary sensors. BRE events occur when four consecutive events (exit-enter-exit-enter) happen in some certain time intervals (t1, t2, and t3), and some of them may be the forget events. Each testbed had one older adult (aged 73 years and over) during the experimental period (µ = 583.1 ± 297.3 days). The algorithm automatically classifies the resident's front-door events and ignores visitor's entrance and exit events. The experimental results reveal the significance of the ti parameters for the number of BRE events. Since BRE events may include forget events, the proposed algorithm could be a useful tool for the forget event detection.
