Abstract
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) systems have been playing an important role in assessing and monitoring the quality of life of elderly people for many years. With the recent advancement and integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices within the ADL systems, the number and quality of services offered has increased significantly. One of these vital services is abnormal behaviour detection based on the data collected from IoT devices within smart homes. However, the IoT data collected could have enormous privacy implications on smart home users if the data is not handled properly. We address this issue by analysing a generic ADL system for abnormal behaviour detection, including its entities and their interactions. We highlight three major privacy issues: (i) identity privacy, (ii) data confidentiality, and (iii) metadata data leakage. These issues are particularly relevant to ADL systems and we propose potential countermeasures to tackle them. Finally, we sketch a privacy-preserving version of a state-of-the-art ADL system to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed countermeasures, before suggesting future research directions.
