With demographic changes of the aging population and an increasing number of people living alone, pervasive home monitoring is set to play an important role in maintaining the independence and improving the quality of life for elderly persons at a lower cost. The present development of the demography of elderly people in the Western world will generate a shortage of caretakers for elderly people in the near future. The new concept of health monitoring is advanced by which health parameters are automatically monitored at home without disturbing daily activities. The proposed system is a network that supports various wearable sensors and contains on-board general computing capabilities for individual event detection, alerts, and communications with various medical informatics services. The purpose of our system is to provide extended monitoring for elderly patients under drug therapy after infarction, data collection in some particular cases, and remote consultation for elderly people.
随着人口老龄化以及独居人数的增加，普及的家庭监测有望以较低成本在维持老年人独立性和提高其生活质量方面发挥重要作用。西方世界老年人口统计学的当前发展将在不久的将来导致老年护理人员短缺。健康监测的新概念应运而生，即在家中自动监测健康参数而不干扰日常活动。所提出的系统是一个支持各种可穿戴传感器的网络，并具备用于个体事件检测、警报以及与各种医学信息服务通信的板载通用计算能力。我们系统的目的是为心肌梗死后接受药物治疗的老年患者提供扩展监测、在某些特定情况下进行数据收集以及为老年人提供远程咨询。
