| description | According to the lasted update by Statistics Singapore on July 2012, the proportion
of Singapore residents aged 65 years and above rose from 9.3 per cent to 9.9 per cent
from year 2010 to year 2011 [1]. With this rapidly aging population, those suffering
from diseases of elderly will be increased. Especially while elders stay alone, their
health conditions become more concerns. Thus, to design and develop a reliable, low
cost healthcare monitoring and information system is highly desired towards today’s
society.
In this project, a wearable wireless sensor network system with measurement
capability actualized via wearable sensor device was designed and user-friendly
interfaces were implemented to realize two functions: real-time health monitoring
and recording.
With the aid of a wireless biosensor, the system can provide solutions for real-time
monitoring on body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and personal positioning.
This wearable device was equipped with these wireless sensors and a wireless
communication device, this allows real-time data to be transmitted and store in
database. Which can be accessed anywhere anytime with Internet connection and
provides the reliable health index to healthcare professions and relatives. Moreover,
our system implemented alert function when any abnormal situations occurred thus
help to the secure elder’s residence.
The software platform was included two main parts, smart phone and webpage useroriented.
A smart phone application, use to receive data from the wearable device,
then transmits it to Internet server. And user is able to self-monitoring their health
index through it. A user-oriented webpage enable to make remote data access
become easier and convince for both healthcare professions and relatives with
reliable and secure platform. Testing shows the webpage and server implanted in this
project possess desired capability and reliability to function properly. |
