Smart and efficient health home system

Abstract

Doing regular medical checkup is important for elderly population in order to stay healthy and avoid unexpected fatal consequences. Some elderly people could find health monitoring as problematical due to aging reason, therefore it is essential to develop a smart home health system. This system aims to be an affordable, cost-effective, and easy-to-use. The proposed smart health system has combined remote medical monitoring, reminding and fall detecting features. The proposed system prototype allows to observe health state of elderly people at a distance, and call an emergency by sending email notifications in case of detecting a fall or abnormal health rate vitals. Another advantage of the smart health system is safety, the design includes gas sensors and a camera that can detect occurrence of fire and unusual events (thieves entering). Moreover, the smart system includes the feature to send reminding notifications about daily routine tasks, which is crucial for elderly citizens with amnesia/memory loss. It is expected that the system saves money and time compared with in-clinic care services.
