Acceptable events are used to define the profile of the resident’s habits and daily routine.
Threat events include safety and security related incidents, in addition to activities that are exceptions
to the resident’s profile. Threat events are reported to the monitoring station and the caregiver for
further investigation and resolution.

Sensor Functionality
The motion detectors report information to the CP about detected activities.
The motion detectors identify movement when the resident crosses in front of the detector, and not
when the resident moves directly towards or away from the detector. To ensure that movement is
detected, place the motion detector at an angle to the coverage area.
For example, if the coverage area in the living room is the couch and its immediate surroundings, the
motion detector should be placed to the side of the couch, at an angle, such that the detector can
view the couch.
Activity is recognized when movement is detected by two or more consecutive motion detectors in
different locations, such as moving from room to room within the residence.
For example, movement is detected by the motion detector installed in the restroom and by the
detector in the bathroom. The consecutive movement detections define an activity. In this case, the
activity is recognized as restroom activity.

Peripherals
The analytics engine of the Care@Home
™
system uses the activities detected by the motion detectors
and specialized sensors to define a profile of the resident’s habits and daily routine. The engine
recognizes a specific set of activity types, relating to movement detected between locations within the
premises.
The activity types represent the basic floor plan of the premises. The basic floor plan as defined by the
Care@Home
™
system is:
Refrigerator door
Front door entrance
Bedroom
Restroom (toilet room)
Bathroom
Living room
Dining room
