A Smart Biomedical Assisted System for Alzheimer Patients

Abstract

In the last decades the health care developments highly rise the level of ages of world population. This improvement was accompanied by increasing the diseases related with elder like Dementia, which Alzheimer's disease represent the most common form. The present study aims to design and implementation a medical system for improving the life of Alzheimer's disease persons and ease the burden of their caregivers. A Smart Biomedical Assistance is an electronic device that provide around the clock monitoring the stability state of the Alzheimer's patient, showing their location on the map, automatically reminders for medication times, and a call button for an emergency cases that the patient may pass through during the day. The device designed with two units one worn by the patient while the other is an internet of things technology (IoT) platform application used by the caregiver. The wearable unit was implemented by using a motion processing unit sensor, global positioning sensor module (GPS), heart rate sensor with microcontrollers and LCD display. This unit is supported by an (IoT) platform for communication with the patient from anywhere by the caregiver.
