Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The problems faced by most senior citizens living alone at homes along with their poor health conditions have motivated the development of a home monitoring system which aims at improving their wellness and health-care. The purpose of this system is to monitor the physiological parameters in real time, together with the help from a computer vision module. Several research works on this area have been conducted, however, the combination of image processing and wearable sensors have not been widely reported. The daily activities and health parameters are to be further analyzed. In case of any abnormal or emergency situations, alarm will be triggered and urgent message will be sent to a medical doctor.
