Health monitoring of elderly in independent and assisted living

This paper aims to present a comprehensive solution for health monitoring of elderly in independent and assisted living. One mandatory requirement is on the provision of suitable medical devices and apparatus for regular health monitoring and data measurements of the elderly. Then, a user-friendly interface would help the upload of health-related data and measurements to a web portal in the Internet, which would provide a database and management service. The paper also discusses on the development of a Responsive Health Monitoring System which would provide automated data analysis and response to the collected data. The system is designed to provide real-time response to the needs of the elderly, as well as the regular health evaluation. It can deal with both emergency and routine events round the clock, with knowledge-based coordination and management.
