Abstract
Nowadays, modern societies are facing the important problem of ageing of their population. On many occasions, older people must leave their homes to be cared for by their relatives or to enter specialised centres for the elderly. On the other hand, something similar happens with disabled people who need the support of other people for their daily activity. This phenomenon brings with it important social and economic consequences. In the activities of the daily life of the elderly it is necessary to have the monitoring of different aspects of their physical activity, such as the detection of critical situations (such as falls) or dangerous situations (such as flooding or gas leaks). The aim of this paper is to analyse the consumption of the different household appliances in order to model a normal behaviour within the daily activities of a house. By means of the consumption of the electrical appliances the aim is to detect anomalous behaviours that induce the appearance of possible problems due to the change in the consumption pattern.
