Abstract

The HomeCare is a special monitoring system of the basic life functions. It has been primarily designed to take care for elderly people. But many of the designed devices could be used in the other branches of biotelemetry. Our HomeCare system is designed with respect to user comfort and it uses as cheap technical solutions as possible. In cooperation with the Ostrava University a Homecare Testing Flat has been realized. There are tested our Homecare solutions in vivo. This article is focused on the designed HomeCare system, on measured parameters and on used wireless technologies. The Circadian rhythm measurement and its usage in the HomeCare system are discussed in the article too.
