A Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Care System for the Elderly Based on Internet of Things

Abstract

The problem of aging populations is attracting more attention. Realizing a real-time care system for the elderly via information technology and finally achieving intelligent care can help alleviate age-related social problems. This paper designs and implements a smart pension system based on the Internet of Things. Via a wrist device, our system monitors the wearer’s health status in real-time, achieves accurate positioning, and implements functions such as fall alarm, motion recording, and sleep quality monitoring. The localization aspect incorporates compressed sensing technology, which improves the positioning accuracy and solves the shortcomings of the traditional localization algorithm. The experiment shows that the system has complete functions and high localization accuracy.
