Abstract

Monitoring system have been customized to collect data and to analyse several aspects of the users’ life, the reason of this custom solution came from the needs to join physical activity of the user, life usage, social interaction and mind activities, all these features are not present in standard devices all together, so we arrived to a new system architecture where the monitoring system is the first front end versus the user. This chapter describes the general monitoring system architecture and provides insight into the contribution and role of sensors. Such sensing solutions are not only designed to match the needs and requirements of the user but also to reduce intrusiveness and usage complexity. By doing so the system is designed around the life of its users and maximizes the effectiveness of data collection. Example from NESTORE project are taken as reference.
