Wireless Sensors Network Based Safe Home to Care Elderly People: A Realistic Approach
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, we present the design intricacies and implementation details of a wireless sensors network based safe home
monitoring system targeted for the elderly people to provide a safe, sound and secured living environment in the society. Programmed
system will minimize the number of false messages to be sent to care provider and supports inhabitant through suitable prompts and action
to be performed when there is irregular behaviour in the daily activity. Developed system was tested at various elderly homes instead of test
bed and the results are encouraging.
