用隐私保护的数字孪生技术,无感监测老人居家健康。
An Intelligent and Privacy-Preserving Digital Twin Model for Aging-in-Place
- 通过传感器构建老人居家活动的虚拟映射模型
- 部署两个月验证系统可行,可实时提供健康洞察
- 适合关注智能养老与隐私安全的科研及医疗从业者
老年人口持续增长,多数倾向居家养老。然而,实现成功居家养老面临多重挑战,需兼顾数据隐私、健康监测与居住环境优化。本文提出一种无感部署的传感器系统,安装于老年人家中,利用传感器数据构建数字孪生——即家庭活动与事件的虚拟映射。系统结合神经网络模型与决策规则,捕捉居民行为与生活环境变化,实现连续健康监测并生成可操作的健康洞察。该系统设计为低成本、隐私保护,旨在提供绿色安全的老年人健康管理方案。我们在两个家庭中连续部署了两个月,结果表明数字孪生技术在支持独立生活方面具有可行性与有效性。本研究显示,该系统可推动老年照护变革,实现个性化干预,如生活方式调整、医疗治疗或居住环境优化,从而改善健康结果。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The population of older adults is steadily increasing, with a strong preference for aging-in-place rather than moving to care facilities. Consequently, supporting this growing demographic has become a significant global challenge. However, facilitating successful aging-in-place is challenging, requiring consideration of multiple factors such as data privacy, health status monitoring, and living environments to improve health outcomes. In this paper, we propose an unobtrusive sensor system designed for installation in older adults' homes. Using data from the sensors, our system constructs a digital twin, a virtual representation of events and activities that occurred in the home. The system uses neural network models and decision rules to capture residents' activities and living environments. This digital twin enables continuous health monitoring by providing actionable insights into residents' well-being. Our system is designed to be low-cost and privacy-preserving, with the aim of providing green and safe monitoring for the health of older adults. We have successfully deployed our system in two homes over a time period of two months, and our findings demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of digital twin technology in supporting independent living for older adults. This study highlights that our system could revolutionize elder care by enabling personalized interventions, such as lifestyle adjustments, medical treatments, or modifications to the residential environment, to enhance health outcomes.
