It is essential to proactively detect mental health problems such as loneliness and depression in the independently-living elderly for timely intervention by caregivers. In this paper, we introduce an unobtrusive sensor-enabled monitoring system that has been deployed to 50 government housing flats with the independent-living elderly for two years. Then, we also present our initial findings from the 6-month sensor data between August 2015 and April 2016 as well as the survey data to measure the subjective well-being indicator. Our study showed the promising results that \"room-level movements within a house\" and \"going out\" behavior captured by our simple sensor system has a potential to detect the cases of severe loneliness and depression with the precision of 10/16 and recall of 10/12. |
