Abstract
Indoor positioning has had a bright future for many years. However, the deployment of such systems is struggling to develop rapidly. We propose here, within the framework of e-health, a particularly simple system to implement, based on a so-called “symbolic” approach which no longer seeks to provide precise positioning, but which strives to provide very high reliability. The principle of the approach is described. Then the practical implementation as well as the results obtained both in the home of an elderly person (in order to analyze their daily behavior) and in a hospital (for the monitoring and analysis of stretcher movements) are discussed. We show in particular that it is then very simple, in real time if necessary, to trigger an alarm in case of detection of an anomaly at home (unusual “geographical” behavior) or to estimate, after the analysis of many trips by Machine Learning techniques for example, the moment when stretchers will be available at the emergency service. We also propose other types of uses at the end of the article in slightly broader environments, objectives and user targets.
