During the last years, several sensor-based monitoring systems have been developed to detect in real time frequent problems in older people, such as falls and nocturia. Some devices can also measure different variables of the environment (e.g. temperature, pollution, etc.) to generate alarms and thus help the user's welfare. All these devices generate numerous sensitive data related to the health and behavior of user/patients. The presence of some of these sensors in homes can mean a vulnerability of the user’s privacy. In this article we propose a telemonitoring ADL platform based on non-intrusive sensors for the care of the elderly, restricted by a user-centered protocol that guarantees their privacy and facilitates their acceptance by the user.
