Title
An Intelligent System for Wheelchair Users Using Data Mining and Sensor Networking Technologies
Abstract
According to the advancement of the medical science in recent years, Taiwan has come into the aging society. Due to the increase of elderly people, the requirement of wheelchair is increasing gradually. Therefore, we develop a system to increase the security of the wheelchair. This research is to configure sensors in a wheelchair for measuring the position and the operation of wheelchair users. If the sitting posture of the wheelchair user is bad or the wheelchair user has the danger, the system will show a warning message to tell the caregiver. According to the position shown, the caregiver can go to the area to help the wheelchair user directly. In addition, a care system running on smart phone is developed, so that the caregiver can take care for wheelchair users anywhere and anytime. Finally, a novel data mining system is designed and implemented for analyzing the wheelchair operations for wheelchair users. It can find out the incorrect or unfitting sitting posture of the wheelchair user for long periods, or environmental problems to provide more useful information for the caregiver. The caregiver can take care for the wheelchair user by this integrated system.
