- Page 2 Elder Monitoring Mobile Assistant (EMMA) EMMA stands for Elderly Mobile Monitoring Assistant and is a platform that seemlessy integrates telecare, telehealth and home automation functionalities in one open system. The software platform is deployed on a base station which can connect to a multitude of wireless body sensors (WBAN wireless body area network) and environmental sensors (WNS wireless network sensors) by means of open standard wireless protocols.
- Page 3 The home automation module allows the integration of existing smart home systems and the definition of rules for the management of the house or for the generation of alarms. The platform allows the caregiver or the user to build dynamical rules of the type - •...

- Page 9 • Wakeup Alarm: alarm for every day wake up • Notification via sound or vibration: activated for manual or automatic alarm • Sync with EMMA base station Operation - The user can call for a manual alarm by squeezing the 2 buttons.
- Page 10 Typical Cost of Hardware A typical configuration in terms of hardware will cost on low volume • Base station 139 GBP INC VAT • GSM module 23 GBP INC VAT • Watch 34.82 GBP INC VAT • Range Extender 14.21 GBP INC VAT A software license will be required to run the system for commercial purpose.
- Page 11 Functionality First Installation During the first installation the user has to bind the watch/watches to the base station to verify that the base station can “see” the watch/watches. The binding is done by pressing-and-holding one button and waiting the “beep” signal. After the pairing the user can configured the base station via a web application that generates configuration file via Bluetooth or via an SD card.

Web Support The base station can be accessed remotely on a web interface where the caregiver can • Monitor the elderly’s activity • Set up triggers and conditions for event generation • Monitor the house’s activity • Export / import data •... - Page 13 Events The list of events to be communicated can be chosen but the default ones are: • ! Fall detected on/off • ! Battery status • ! Out of range • ! Manual alarm on/off...
- Page 14 Motion Analysis These pictures shows how the user can combine the wrist watch and a motion sensor to provide best accuracy for a fall detector. - The automatic motion analysis on the wrist is performed with an algorithm called Dynamic Time Warping which has been successfully applied to recognize voices, images and motion features.
- Page 15 Support for Home Automation Devices - We plan to support as many home automation standards as we develop our platform. - Currently we provide support for a subset of ZWave devices and Visonic motion sensors.
- Page 16 Every device can be described with an abstract interface and immediately used in our platform. We also provide integration for partners that might have proprietary protocols or non standard interfaces for their devices.
- Page 17 Radio Frequency Layer The watches communicate with the base station via low power RF protocol. We currently support • SimpliciTI from Texas Instrument • SWAP from Panstamp - Frequency supported 433 Mhz, 868 Mhz, 915 Mhz - Modulation supported 2-FSK, GFSK, MSK, OOK, ASK - Current modulation is GFSK - Max theoretical data rate 500 kbps...
- Page 18 Network Topology in SimpliciTI The base station is the AP and the watches are EP. There could be a maximum of 255 watches for each network and 5 range extenders. An actual restriction on the TI licence only allows us to use 1 AP and 1 EP. Network Topology in SWAP The base station is the AP and the watches are EP.
