| الملخص: | This paper describes the process of learning to develop an elderly tag system using
the CC1310 microcontroller unit. The elderly tag system aims to support the elderly
with mild ailments to live independently for as long as they wish to. Firstly, the
needs of the elderly and their caregivers were looked into. Secondly, existing
products and technologies were analysed. Thirdly, the design of the elderly tag was
done up using the information collected from the first 2 steps. The elderly tag system
comprises of an elderly tag with 2 sensors (a pulse oximeter and heart rate sensor and
an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)) to collect the vitals of the elderly and a
collector to communicate the information collected to the caregivers. Lastly, the
paper will describe the process of implementing the design of the elderly tag system
and the challenges faced. The implementation process includes learning the
functionalities of CC1310, understanding the I2C communication protocol, learning
how to operate the sensors, learning how to implement a Sub-1 GHz radio
communication and drafting up a simple GUI to present the vitals collected. The
final result of the project is the successful implementation of the pulse oximeter and
heart rate sensor and a partial success in implementing the IMU.
