Computer Vision Systems in Health and Safety Monitoring

Abstract

Computer vision systems can play a role in providing care to individuals living with physical or cognitive disability. In this talk, I will first briefly review vision-based systems to provide assistance to older adults with dementia and to assist with usability studies for this population. I will then present preliminary results on assessing the cognitive status of older adults by way of monitoring common activities of daily living.
