Abstract:
An increasing aged population worldwide puts our
medical capabilities to the test. Research and commercial groups are
investigating novel ways to care for the aged and chronically ill both
in their own homes and in care facilities. This paper describes a
prototype we have developed for remote healthcare monitoring. This
personalized smart homecare system uses smart phones, wireless
sensors, web servers and IP webcams. To illustrate the functionality
of the prototype we describe a series of typical tele-health monitoring
scenarios.
