Monitoring device for elders in UAE

This research was done based on facts collected about elders in UAE who are suffering from some health issues and sometimes unable to move. The paper highlights one of the major issues that elders in UAE are currently suffering from, the immobility, due to health issues and discusses the ways to monitor their health using mobile devices such as Caalyx. This device is a patient monitoring device that can measure vital signs, detect falls and alert the signs about emergences to the nearest healthcare. This paper proposes to use this wearable device called Caalyx which can be used to monitor the vital signs of the people who use them. Few similar monitoring devices have been compared. Justification has been made to propose the use of such a device after conducting a survey among elderly and their relatives in the UAE to find whether they would accept a device like Caalyx for monitoring purposes.
