| Summary: | The work aims in creating a monitoring system for
the elderly population intended to be used in the bedroom. The
sensors selected can measure the sleep pattern and selected
vital signals. This particular sensor was preferred as a result of
its simplicity in integration, cost-effectiveness, and reliability.
The suggested work is shown to be in the form of embedded
sensors integrated in the bedroom. An alarm system has also
been included in the bedroom design to assist the elderly to
request for help during an emergency situation. Bed sensors
are installed under the bed sheets to detect the sleeping pattern
of the elderly person. Furthermore, humidity and ambient
temperature sensors are also implemented in the design to
constantly monitor their vital health conditions. Thus, the
bedroom health and wellness monitoring system will allow an
elderly person to stay independently in their own home in a
secured environment. |
