The rapid increase in the population of older adults living alone has raised many safety concerns, with fall-induced injuries and dementia presenting immediate dangers to older adults. Falls are prevalent in older adults, and not only cause injuries for the individuals, but also impose an extremely heavy burden on family members and caregivers. Furthermore, dementia is common among older adults in aging societies and is usually accompanied by dysfunctions in daily living activities, causing considerable difficulties for family members. The objective of this study was to develop a remote monitoring and control (M&amp;C) smart floor system for detecting falls and wandering patterns in older adults with dementia in order to provide comprehensive care assistance. The proposed system integrates a floor detection sensor and Wi-Fi technology to analyze and determine the occurrence of falls and wandering in older adults with dementia. Conventionally, detection processes for falls and wandering in older adults with dementia are conducted using visual monitoring or wearable detectors, which may reduce the privacy, comfort, and convenience of older adults. By contrast, the proposed system maintains users\u2019 privacy and eliminates the inconvenience associated with wearing detectors. The system determines fall behaviors and wandering patterns in older adults with dementia; when an accident occurs, the system can issue a warning and notify medical care units or relatives for immediate attention, thus reducing the occurrence of further accidents. The remote M&amp;C and warning functions of the proposed system were verified through experiments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jifs-169903","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,13]],"date-time":"2018-11-13T15:52:56Z","timestamp":1542124376000},"page":"1323-1331","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Remote monitoring and control smart floor for detecting falls and wandering patterns in people with dementia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Hsi-Chiang","family":"Chou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Tung Nan University, Shen-Keng, New Taipei, Taiwan, ROC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","unstructured":"https:\/\/1966.gov.tw\/LTC\/cp-3636-42415-201.html Ten year long-term care plan 2.0 The Ministry of Health and Welfare."},{"key":"e_1_3_1_3_2","unstructured":"http:\/\/www.mohw.gov.tw\/cp-16-33598-1.html Cause of death statistics 2017 The Ministry of Health and Welfare."},{"key":"e_1_3_1_4_2","unstructured":"https:\/\/ifi.immigration.gov.tw Promoting long-term care 2.0 a complete long-term care system The Executive Yuan Republic of China (Taiwan)."},{"key":"e_1_3_1_5_2","first-page":"2481","article-title":"Determining activity using a triaxial accelerometer","author":"Mathie M.J.","year":"2002","unstructured":"MathieM.J., LovellN.H., CosterA.C.F. and CellerB.G., Determining activity using a triaxial accelerometer, 24th Annual Conference and the Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society EMBS\/BMES Conference, 2002, pp. 2481\u20132482.","journal-title":"24th Annual Conference and the Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society EMBS\/BMES Conference"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TITB.2005.856864"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gaitpost.2006.09.012"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_8_2","first-page":"47","article-title":"The study of integrating RFID technology with image analysis in building the elders\u2019 falling detection system","volume":"16","author":"Chiu R.K.","year":"2007","unstructured":"ChiuR.K., ChangY.Y. and ChiS.P., The study of integrating RFID technology with image analysis in building the elders\u2019 falling detection system, The Journal of Taiwan Association for Medical Informatics 16 (2007)47\u201362.","journal-title":"The Journal of Taiwan Association for Medical Informatics"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_9_2","first-page":"20","article-title":"Human fall detection system using an omni-directional camera in practical environments for health care applications","author":"Huang Y.C.","year":"2009","unstructured":"HuangY.C., MiaouS.G. and LiaoT.Y., Human fall detection system using an omni-directional camera in practical environments for health care applications, MVA2009 IAPR Conference on Machine Vision Applications (2009), 20\u201322.","journal-title":"MVA2009 IAPR Conference on Machine Vision Applications"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-3956(75)90026-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1041610294001602"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/153331750101600301"}],"container-title":["Journal of Intelligent &amp; Fuzzy Systems"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3233\/JIFS-169903","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.3233\/JIFS-169903","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3233\/JIFS-169903","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T09:36:36Z","timestamp":1777455396000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.3233\/JIFS-169903"}},"subtitle":[],"editor":[{"given":"Wen-Hsiang","family":"Hsieh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"editor","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,13]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,16]]}},"alternative-id":["10.3233\/JIFS-169903"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/jifs-169903","relation":{},"ISSN":["1064-1246","1875-8967"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1064-1246","type":"print"},{"value":"1875-8967","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,13]]}}}
