A Systematic Survey on Sensor Failure Detection and Fault-Tolerance in Ambient Assisted Living

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems aim to enable the elderly people to stay active and live independently into older age by monitoring their behaviour, provide the needed assistance and detect early signs of health status deterioration. Non-intrusive sensors are preferred by the elderly to be use...
