Integrating technology with rural development is essential for addressing the unique challenges faced by aging populations in rural areas. China's national rural revitalization strategy emphasizes the importance of developing characteristic towns that focus on health and wellness demands, particularly for the older adults. However, there is a gap in the literature regarding the systematic use of technology to support the health and daily living needs of this demographic.
This study aims to bridge this gap by proposing a wireless sensor network (WSN)-based system that integrates health monitoring and smart home assistance, specifically tailored for older adults residents in sports and wellness towns.
The system's design involves collecting and analyzing historical activity data and basic physiological parameters from older adults residents' homes. The data are cleaned, combined and stored to prepare it for behavior analysis, which is vital for controlling smart home equipment. Preliminary health assessments are conducted using the collected physiological data. A hybrid network leveraging Sub-G and Wi-Fi technologies is optimized for the purposes of collecting and uploading data, based on a comparative analysis of wireless communication options.
This study significantly contributes to the advancement of sports and wellness towns by promoting healthy aging through cutting-edge technological solutions.
将技术与农村发展相结合对于解决农村地区老龄化人口面临的独特挑战至关重要。中国的国家农村振兴战略强调发展注重健康和养生需求的特色小镇的重要性，特别是针对老年人。然而，关于系统使用技术来支持这一年龄段人群的健康和日常生活需求的文献存在空白。
本研究旨在通过提出一个基于无线传感器网络（WSN）的系统来弥合这一空白，该系统将健康监测和智能家居辅助功能集成在一起，专门针对体育和养生小镇的老年人居民。
该系统的设计涉及从老年人居民家中收集和分析历史活动数据和基本生理参数。对数据进行清理、组合和存储，为行为分析做好准备，这对于控制智能家居设备至关重要。使用收集到的生理数据进行初步健康评估。根据对无线通信选项的比较分析，优化了一种利用 Sub-G 和 Wi-Fi 技术的混合网络，用于数据的收集和上传。
通过利用先进的技术解决方案促进健康老龄化，本研究为体育和养生小镇的发展做出了重大贡献。
