Elderly People Care Support System Under COVID-19 Environment Using Advanced ICT/AI Data Science and Its Field Trials

Abstract

During the pandemic due to COVID-19, healthcare management for elderly people in care centers has been facing difficulty in judgment acceptance of center users suffering from COVID-19 or not because of a limited number of caregivers in a cost-effective manner. This paper introduces a developed system for dependable healthcare support during the pandemic using advanced ICT and AI data science such as an integrated ICT platform among variable vital sensors connected with a wireless body area network(BAN) and data server via a cloud network, and data analysis for the judgement based on AI data science using a sophisticated machine learning algorithm. This paper investigates feasibility of the developed system by various field trials in practical healthcare service centers sponsored by medical organization and IT service company.
