ER2Digit: environmental sensors to improve conditions in rest homes

ER2Digit: environmental sensors to improve conditions in rest homes - Images

An environment monitoring system dedicated to the elderly residents of the F. Barocci rest home in Sarsina was tested.

The initiative is part of the activities of ER2Digit – European Digital Innovation Hub. 

The project included the installation of devices connected to each other through a wireless network capable of detecting the conditions of inner spaces. Sensors have been placed in rooms requiring stable temperatures, in common and guest rooms.

The devices measure temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, carbon dioxide level, brightness, and air quality.

The collected data can be consulted through a simple-to-use platform, which allows operators to visualize the conditions of the environments and identify any anomalies.

The experiment was accompanied by discussions and training sessions with the facility's staff, in order to adapt the tools to the operators' daily needs. The experience contributes to the development of the “IoT for Social” model and the regional RetePA-IoT project, with the possibility of being replicated in similar contexts.
