AbstractThere are three types of technologies commonly used in home monitoring services: (1) Wearable devices, which can be uncomfortable and intrusive to users; (2) Ambient sensors, which require extra installation; and (3) household meters, such as smart electricity and water meters. While smart electricity meter data have been used for long-term lifestyle monitoring of independent older adults (Ruano et al., 2019), few studies use smart water meter data for the same purpose. A study by Wilhelm et al. (2023) exploited water consumption data from smart meters for human activity event recognition. This paper presents a feasibility study for lifestyle monitoring of older adults living independently at home using smart water meter data.Keywords: lifestyle monitoring, smart water meter, elderly care, activity level
