During the last decade, we noticed a regular variation in the world demography leading to a nearly balanced society share between the young and aging population. This increasing older adult population is facing many problems. In fact, the transition to the aging period is associated with physical, psychological, cognitive, and societal changes. Negative behavior changes are considered as indicators of older adults\u2019 frailty. This is why it is important to detect such behavior changes early in order to prevent isolation, sedentary lifestyle, and even diseases, and therefore delay the frailty period. This paper exhibits a proof-of-concept pilot site deployment of an Internet of Thing (IoT) solution for the continuous monitoring and detection of older adults\u2019 behavior changes. The objective is to help geriatricians detect sedentary lifestyle and health-related problems at an early stage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20071888","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,1]],"date-time":"2020-04-01T03:44:13Z","timestamp":1585712653000},"page":"1888","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Pilot Site Deployment of an IoT Solution for Older Adults\u2019 Early Behavior Change Detection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Hamdi","family":"Aloulou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ReDCAD, Centre de Recherche en Num\u00e9rique de Sfax, Sfax 3021, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mounir","family":"Mokhtari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Direction de la Recherche, Institut Mines T\u00e9l\u00e9com, 91120 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5468-0190","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bessam","family":"Abdulrazak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AMI-Lab, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, QC J1K 2R1, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"292","DOI":"10.1177\/156482650402500310","article-title":"WHO global strategy on diet, physical activity and health","volume":"25","author":"Waxman","year":"2004","journal-title":"Food Nutr.
