Abstract
The ratio of dementia patients is escalating with time and requires proper attention to help the people suffering from it to continue their activities of daily living (ADL). Such patients suffer from the symptoms like irregular sleep patterns, restlessness, wandering, screaming, falling, sadness and depression. Assistive Technology facilitates caretaker to aid the patient efficiently with minimum effort. Advances in technology have made possible state of the art and innovative methods of health care delivery. Home telecare; in which the patient’s health is monitored remotely at home, is one such method. This paper is proposing a cost effective and user friendly wearable product based solution (i.e. HealthBand) that monitors patient’s activities (specifically fall and scream) and notifies the caretaker in case of emergency to take appropriate action(s). These notifications are sent to the caretaker on the basis of predefined threshold and time span over Bluetooth and GSM mediums to android based application. The android app also keeps patient’s medicines’ intake record and reminds caretaker regarding medicine dosage and timings.
