Smart Monitoring Service through Self Sufficient Healthcare Gadget for Elderly

摘要

This paper presents a remote health monitoring system focusing on the general well being of elderly people. The system provides several functionalities such as a wearable gadget to monitor the overall health condition of the patient and an android application software for relatives involved in eldercare. The wearable gadget is run by a microprocessor and it will gather information using sensors. Moreover, it consists of some general functions such as one-button emergency call feature, medicine reminder, refill notification and Geofencing. By using GSM and GPS modules the patient's relatives, as well as an appointed doctor, can monitor real-time activities, see the condition of the patient remotely, receive emergency alerts and track location through an android app. The core purpose of the paper is to build a low budget monitoring system for elderly health care, developed focusing on user compatibility and reliability.
