Paper Abstract:
|
This paper describes a mobile Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solution designed to meet the requirements of modern
health services in caring for, monitoring and motivating the elderly in their own environment. Our solution goes beyond
the function of classical tele-monitoring by delivering integrated functionality that includes health management, mental
monitoring, mood assessment as well as physical and relaxation exercises. In addition we provide communication and
delivery services in location-based manner using built in GPS, WiFi and 3G mobile connectivity. Bluetooth compatible
blood pressure and body weight measurement devices are complemented with a body-mounted wireless physiological
sensor to monitor activity, body temperature and stress. Telemetric data is continuously recorded on a local host
computer while simultaneously being also sent to a central database, where a rule-based system or monitoring health
personnel may make emergency assessment. |
