Joaquin Mass-Sanchez,Erica Ruiz-Ibarra,Joaquin Cortez-Gonzalez,Adolfo Espinoza-Ruiz,Luis A. Castro +4 more
TL;DR: A new localization algorithm is proposed, merging WDV-Hop with the weighted hyperbolic localization algorithm (WH), which includes weights to the correlation matrix of the estimated distances between the node of interest (NOI) and the reference nodes (RN) in order to improve accuracy and precision.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Supporting emotional ties among mexican elders and their families living abroad
TL;DR: An electronic family newspaper, through which elders and their families share information, personal reminiscences and cultural stories, and occasionally interact with each other is proposed, which enables elders not only to maintain close social ties, but ameliorate cognitive decline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral data gathering for assessing functional status and health in older adults using mobile phones
TL;DR: InCense is presented, a toolkit for facilitating the collection of behavioral data gathering from populations of mobile phone users, and the results of a sensing campaign in which InCense was used for collecting behavior data from older adults are presented.
Book ChapterDOI
Seamless interaction among heterogeneous devices in support for co-located collaboration
