摘要：

Number of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing every day. As it target and destroy brain cells. And in order to avoid the high cost of care institutions of Alzheimer's patients, we should provide a safe environment for them. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) technologies can provide such environments. AAL is used to supervise and assist people with disabilities who cannot rely on themselves as patients of Alzheimer's. In this paper we present a prototype of a house that has been equipped with Arduino micro-controller to suit the Alzheimer's patients. By monitoring the behaviour of the patients, the system will interact by sending a message for the caregiver if a risk action was detected. The evaluation of the early prototype system involved evaluating the monitoring system as well as the devices.
