Monitoring circadian rhythms of social activity is crucial for preserving the health and wellness of ill elderly people. In this paper, we assess the ability of phones to be used as a temporal and social daily activity sensor from a passive and unobstructive measure of phone call activity. To this end, we introduce a methodology specifically designed to automatically measure both persistence and disruptions in circadian rhythms of phone call activity with 26 adults older than 65 years.
