Intelligent Housing for People Assistance (non-funded team project)

Title : Intelligent Habitat for Home Assistance

(non-funded team project)

Project Type and Funding

This is a long-term research theme that aims to help people, usually elderly or in difficulty, living alone at home.

The RESIDE-HIS (2000-2002), DESDHIS (2002-2004) and DESDHIS2 (2004-2008) projects were used as pilot projects. ANR funding for the Sweet-Home (2009-2013) and Cirdo (2010-2014) projects has helped to advance and enrich this theme.The ANR VOCADOM project (2017-2021) is part of this theme.

History

The original aim of the RESIDE-HIS project was to detect a state of emergency by sound analysis in the apartment with fusion of information from presence sensors and a fall sensor. The DESDHIS project focused on the recognition of calls for help and the classification of the person’s Activities of Daily Living, a variation in ADLs that could be a sign of an emerging health problem. The Sweet-Home project aimed to voice control home automation equipment in the intelligent apartment to assist frail people, using a specialized social link system between the isolated person and his family. The objective of the CIRDO project was the detection of falls by video analysis and the recognition of distress calls in this case. The VOCADOM project selected by the ANR in 2016 aims to carry out a voice command of home automation under realistic conditions of use: presence of noise in the apartment, presence of a visitor…
