This study introduces an electronic safety system for elderly care, using a mobile phone and server to track location and alert caregivers if a patient leaves a designated safe zone. The system enhances safety and monitoring for seniors living independently.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Ubiquitous Computing
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Aging population necessitates advanced care solutions.
  • Existing monitoring systems lack real-time location tracking and automated alerts.
  • Need for non-intrusive safety support for elderly individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an electronic safety support system for elderly care.
  • To provide real-time location monitoring and automated alerts for caregivers.
  • To enhance the safety and independence of elderly individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a low-power mobile phone (PHS) for subject tracking.
  • Implemented a server computer for data processing and caregiver interface.
  • Defined patient movement areas using specialized computer software.

  • Automated alerts via voice and email with location mapping upon boundary breach.

    • Main Results:

    • The system accurately identifies subject location within 100m via PHS antenna ID.
    • Automated alerts are triggered when subjects leave pre-defined movement areas.
    • Caregivers receive real-time location maps and can review movement history.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed electronic safety support system effectively enhances elderly care.
    • Real-time monitoring and automated alerts improve caregiver response and patient safety.
    • The system offers a promising solution for supporting independent living in the elderly.
