Indoor air pollution in old people's homes related to some health problems: a survey study.

Unlabelled: The present research reports on a survey of 96 subjects between the ages of 60 and 95 years, living close to Paris in a social collective habitat. The aim was to show, using goodness-of-fit statistical tests (P < 0.1), how old people lifestyles can subject them to generated chemical or bacteriological indoor pollutants.

Smart multisensor kernel.

We describe in this paper a smart multisensor kernel, given the shape of a wriststrap and able to characterise a current physiological state among a number of ones resulting from a previous analysis, and to transmit those results using a radio link. The main advantage of this product is its adaptability. As examples, we describe two applications which are the remote monitoring of elderly people and the sleep staging.

[Cognitive aging in chronic psychotic patients].

Objective: The cognitive aging of psychotic patients is still poorly apprehended and sometimes wrongly compared with demential or pseudo-demential deterioration. We studied the impact of chronic psychosis on cognitive performance in the elderly.
