Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Health Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Traditional telephone requests for elderly home care changes are slow.
  • Current communication methods can cause delays in care provision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient web-based system for elderly home care.
  • To enable faster communication between clients, Home Helpers, and care managers.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a web-based system using Internet client computers with liquid crystal tablets.
  • Integrated wireless Internet Java-enabled mobile phones for instant communication.
  • Implemented a central office server to process and transfer care requests automatically.

Main Results:
