Abstract

Even if the elderly and disabled need the assistance of their families, parents, and healthcare providers, they prefer to live in their homes instead of assisted-living centers. Therefore, their health and activities must be remotely monitored so that in case of an urgent unexpected situation, immediate help can be provided. In this respect, this paper proposes a wireless sensor network-based health monitoring system for the elderly and disabled, and focuses on its development steps. The proposed system is composed of low-cost off-the-shelf components and enables the monitoring of important health parameters of the elderly and disabled. Since it is a wireless and portable health monitoring solution, it can be a valuable remote monitoring tool for health care service providers by reducing the cost of their services. It can be combined with data mining solutions and/or machine learning techniques to offer novel features such as pattern extraction and behavior analysis.
