Design and Implementation of in-home Wireless Crucial Events Logging and Alarming System for Elderly and Disabled People Care

Abstract

This paper aims at developing a system that will help in in-home care for elderly or disabled people. The system can record the patient vital parameters such as temperature, SpO2, ECG, heart rate, bed moisture and fall off sensor with features of the system ability to adapt new sensors if needed. The system could be installed at the bathroom or shower area at the patient terminal and transmit the critical situations such as high or low values to an alarming system. The system will be developed using the National Instrument Wireless Sensor Network (NI-WSN) to control the crucial events transmission and LabVIEW software to design the user interface.
