Application for the Geriatrics in Cognitive City: Prevention of Lost Patient with Dementia

Abstract

As the global population structure has entered an aging society which the elderly population is increasing while the birth rate is declining. There will be a serious shortage of elderly care in the future. The concept of Internet of Things can be used to solve the situation. The purpose of this study is to prevent the loss of the elderly with mental impairment. The NB-IoT collects the demented patients' path that is provided by FRID Reader and the AI system records and analyzes the path so that the data can be immediately transmitted to the caregiver warning message. With this device, the caregiver does not need to take care of the patient all day.
