In this article a system to detect the physical behavior of bedridden elderly people is proposed. This system is used to prevent
elderly people from falling down and injuring themselves. The basic idea of our approach is to measure the body movements
of the person using an acceleration sensor. Based on the data measured, dangerous actions are recorded and warning signals
to the care workers are generated via wireless signals. A feature of the system is that the sensor is compactly assembled
as a wearable unit. Another feature of the system is that it adopts a simplified wireless network system. Owing to its network
capability, the system can monitor the physical movements of many patients. The applicability of the system is now being examined
at hospitals. |
