Abstract
In an effort to improve the quality of life of its residents, elderly care centers in the UAE are exploring the use of remote monitoring techniques as a viable and cost-effective option. Currently, elderlies within the elderly home care center might be in different places unmonitored. Moreover, at night, the number of caregivers or attending nurses is usually limited where at times making the continuous monitoring of all the residents a very difficult if not impossible task. Elderlies would be highly susceptible to emergencies such as wandering off the care home center, falling and possibly abnormal changes in their vital signs. Thus there is critical need for continuous and reliable monitoring of residents in these centers preferably with realtime built-in alerting mechanism in case of emergencies. This work proposes a framework that enables the data collection from wearable sensor devices and customizes the elderly monitoring based on defined rules for each individual. Moreover, the work provides a dashboard for caregivers to visually monitor all elderlies' conditions and activities in the care center. This project is carried out in cooperation with one of the largest center in Dubai, UAE. It is validated by a prototype implementation.
