Abstract

The HomeCare system is designed, developed and realized in our laboratory. It is remote monitoring system of base life functions which takes care about alone living elderly people. Not only standard monitored biosignals can give us the valuable information about the change in the state of the health of the monitored person. One of the possible monitored values can be the circadian cycle. The monitoring of the circadian cycles of elderly people in HomeCare systems is very usable. This work is focused on possibilities of the monitoring and the data processing of circadian cycles in frame of HomeCare systems which were designed for elderly people.
