20. AAL projects with Hungarian participation SafePrivateHomesforElderlyPersons (CARE) • automated recognition and alarming of critical situations (like falls) using a stereovisual sensor (which detects only motion) and real-time processing while preserving the privacy • the technology is used to monitor, analyse, and interpret an elderly's behaviour at home and to automatically send an alarm signal in case of critical situations (e.g. a person falls, or becomes immobilised for a long time, or starts hysteric movements). This sensor technology is integrated in a monitoring system for private homes and nursing homes, including a communication interface and a control station.
