Biometric Incorporation in Pervasive and Autonomous Systems Emphasising the use within e-Health Specific Smart Homes

With an aging population and the increase in serious diseases smart homes and telehealth is becoming more and more prevalent. As these computer systems become increasingly widespread and complex, they become progressively harder to update, troubleshoot and configure without a large expert team of maintainers. One solution is to use autonomous systems to do the work much more quickly and efficiently. As autonomous systems become more sophisticated and understood, security concerns and authentication are coming to the fore as important areas in which more research is needed. With the constant search for the illusive ideal security identifier biometric systems have become more widespread and have entered the public eye. This paper will look at the connection between smart homes, biometrics devices and autonomous systems. into biometrics.
