1. A system to monitor a person under care by at least one carer, comprising:
a care analytics management processor;
a plurality of environmental sensors, each of the environmental sensors including at least one elastic repository configured to store a dynamically configured predetermined amount of sensed data from an environment of the person under care, connected to a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storage of data generated by the environmental sensors, the environmental sensors configured to:
sense the environment of the person under care,
determine a quiescent state of the environment of the person under care,
detect an edge condition deviating from the quiescent state resulting in edge condition data,
upon detection of the edge condition, the environmental sensor is configured to evaluate the data held in the at least one elastic repository and the edge condition to determine whether the environmental sensor changes to an active state,
upon changing to an active state, the environmental sensor transmits a configuration specification to at least one other sensor in the plurality of environmental sensors in proximity to the environmental sensor, and
wherein the environmental sensors in the active state transmit the sensed data and the edge condition data to the care analytics management processor;
the care analytics management processor, further comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive the sensed data and the edge condition data, and
at least one microprocessor to determine whether a false positive situation has occurred, and
when the false positive situation has occurred, the transceiver is configured to transmit the configuration specification to reset the plurality of environmental sensors into the quiescent state, or
when a positive situation has occurred, the care analytics management processor is configured to transmit an alert to the at least one carer.
