Abstract :
In population structure of aging society, the life expectancy of national average is extended because medical treatment is improved. The rate of people of chronic disease is gradually increased year by year and caused by lifestyle related disease and unbalanced food. Moreover, it is dropping. Improvements of the daily life and the treatment of diet of the elderly, the chronic patient and the special patient are worth studying. This paper proposes a tele-care services system using ZigBee wireless network. This system combines Care and Services Identification Card (CSIC), Data Transmitter (DT), Life Care System (LCS) and Tele-live care System (TS). The System can not only reduce the service manpower and the cost but increase the care quality and service efficiency. The aged is convenient to use this tele care e-marketplace system to go shopping on a virtual marketplace.
