Advances in Sensor Monitoring Effectiveness and Applicability: A Systematic Review and Update.

DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Wireless sensor networks appear to be developing into an effective solution for measuring ADLs and for identifying changes in their patterns. They offer a promising solution to support older adults living independently at home. However, there is too much focus on technology, and practical usefulness still needs to be further elaborated. Sensors should focus on ADLs that are sensitive to the earliest signs of cognitive decline, as well as quantitative markers, such as errors in the execution of ADLs.
