The intricate connection between daily behaviours and health necessitates robust behaviour monitoring, particularly with the advent of IoT systems. This study introduces an innovative approach, exploiting the synergy of information from various IoT sources, to assess the alignment of behaviour routines with health guidelines. We grouped routines based on guideline compliance and used a clustering method to identify similarities in behaviours and key characteristics within each cluster. Applied to an elderly care case study, our approach unveils patterns leading to physical inactivity by categorising days based on recommended daily steps. Utilising data from wristbands, smartphones, and ambient sensors, the study provides insights not achievable with single-source data. Visualisation in a calendar view aids health experts in understanding patient behaviours, enabling precise interventions. Notably, the approach facilitates early detection of behaviour changes during events like COVID-19 and Ramadan, available in our dataset. This work signifies a promising path for behavioural analysis and discovering variations to empower smart healthcare, offering insights into patient health, personalised interventions, and healthier routines through continuous IoT-driven data analysis.
