The world's population is rapidly ageing and the industries have been looking for novel technologies to ease manpower and resources needed for the rapid population growth.

LSCM has developed a monitoring system to measure the activity levels of the elderly and detect any abnormal conditions by using state-of-the-art ultra-wideband (UWB) and signal processing technologies.  The users need not wear any device, the UWB radars installed in the system use sub-cm-order time-of-flight information to determine their breathing rate and track their location. The data collected can also be analysed to provide activity-tracker style measurements of sleep duration and daily activity levels. Daily activity goals can thus be recommended to encourage users to exercise and improve sleep quality. This low-cost and privacy-preserving system provides real-time feedback to help caretakers provide efficient remote monitoring service of the elderly.

This system has won the gold medal at the International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva.
