Validating Activities of Daily Living with Wi-Fi Sensing and Data Fusion
The biggest challenge in modern eldercare is an overflow of data with a lack of clarity. Homes today are filled with smart devices generating endless signals: a motion detector blinks, a fridge door opens, a smart plug activates. But what does any of it actually mean?...
Validating Activities of Daily Living with Wi-Fi Sensing and Data Fusion
Today’s connected homes are full of smart devices — but data without context can overwhelm more than it helps. In eldercare, the difference between a light turning on and a meal being made can mean everything. This blog explores how Wi-Fi Sensing and data fusion bring clarity to that noise, transforming fragmented signals into validated insights about Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).

How Can Wi-Fi Sensing Improve Secondary Verification?
The U.S. Department of Justice reports that 94-98% of police responses to security alarms are false, costing over $1 billion annually. False alarms, triggered by non-threatening events like shadows or pets, lead to unnecessary police dispatches, operational inefficiencies, fines, and customer dissatisfaction. Secondary verification, which uses multiple data points to confirm alarms, addresses this by reducing reliance on single sensors and minimizing errors. AVS-01, a standard by The Monitoring Association, mandates procedural verification steps to ensure alarm reliability, utilizing data from multiple sensors, video, and audio systems to categorize alarms by priority. Wi-Fi Sensing enhances secondary verification by detecting motion through Wi-Fi signal disruptions, confirming human presence and reducing false alarms. It integrates easily into existing systems, enhancing reliability without complex installations. Advanced algorithms further refine motion detection, filtering out non-threatening movements. This technology streamlines threat detection, improves response times, and boosts customer trust in security systems.
