Abstract :
The development of body Area Network and wireless sensor system had made drastic changes in the healthcare concept of human life. It is very usefull for elder people those who are being the burden of modern society. The elderly health care system gives continuous monitoring of the old person and give instant diagnosis result or medical assistance to the people. The system mainly considered with three levels of processing such as Data acquisition, Activity detection and scheduling and processing. Being the system examines and evaluate some critical health care problems of elderly people by optimizing the scheduling and processing system will make the health care system more efficient and abless to the society. The paper tries to explain the optimization of processing and scheduling process through Particle Optimization algorithm.
