By utilizing low-power Bluetooth, it achieves wearable health monitoring functionality, enabling caregivers to provide one-to-many services.
Project Background
The global aging population has led to an increasing demand for caregivers in nursing homes. The client aims to develop an intelligent health monitoring device to address this issue. The goal is to enable a single caregiver to attend to multiple elderly individuals, reduce caregiver expenses, and provide more precise care for the elderly.
Project Requirements
- Powered by button batteries, providing a usage time of over 2 months.
- Utilizing low-power Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology for data transmission.
- Capable of issuing alerts for dangerous situations such as falls.
Our Solution
The device utilizes a low-power Bluetooth solution to collect data from corresponding sensors such as accelerometer and temperature sensors. The collected data is then uploaded to a server via a gateway. The server further processes and analyzes the data to determine the user's current posture and body temperature status. The resulting information is then forwarded to a monitoring terminal for timely and effective handling.
