We discuss a wearable system that is part of a larger project aiming at monitoring the activities/wellness of elderly people in a multi-resident scenario. Each subject wears an active badge equipped with a microcontroller that manages a number of on-board sensors, while a dedicated software has been developed for data communication and storage and integration with other environmental sensors either fixed or mounted on a robot. Preliminary results are reported that confirm the effectiveness of the approach we have followed. In particular, the implemented badge has been successful in monitoring the movements of a test subject both during bed rest and when moving around in other environments, providing the correct information on his posture and environmental conditions (temperature and humidity).

Abstract
We discuss a wearable system that is part of a larger project aiming at monitoring the activities/wellness of elderly people in a multi-resident scenario. Each subject wears an active badge equipped with a microcontroller that manages a number of on-board sensors, while a dedicated software has been developed for data communication and storage and integration with other environmental sensors either fixed or mounted on a robot. Preliminary results are reported that confirm the effectiveness of the approach we have followed. In particular, the implemented badge has been successful in monitoring the movements of a test subject both during bed rest and when moving around in other environments, providing the correct information on his posture and environmental conditions (temperature and humidity).Pubblicazioni consigliate
